Usain Bolt Beats Rival, Justin Gatlin With Barely A Second & Wins Gold Medal At World Athletics Championship

12:16

Jamaica's Usain Bolt has again proven the reason why he is called the fastest runner in the world as he beat controversial rival, Justin Gatlin to 100m gold at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing on Sunday.

He had been struggling with a pelvic injury all season but was able to win in 9.79 seconds edging Gatlin, the fastest man in the world this year, into silver medal position just one hundredth of a second back.

At a point during the race, they were neck and neck but suddenly, Gatlin seemed to loose his balance as he approached the finish line leaving Bolt to savor yet another big-stage victory. 

It was indeed a dramatic end to one of the most talked about 100m events in years. However, while Bolt still holds the world record at 9.58 seconds since the World Championships in Berlin 6 years ago, his fastest time in 2015 before the final was 0.13 seconds slower than Gatlin.
