It’s the first time in his illustrious career that Bolt's been beaten in the 100-meter final at the world championships, or the Olympics for that matter. Justin Gatlin (age 35) of the U.S.A. grabbed gold in 9.92 seconds, and American Christian Coleman (age 21) took silver in 9.94. Unfortunately, the Americans received boos from the London crowd after the race was finished.
After winning the 100-meter race, Gatlin said: “I dreamed about this day. I worked hard for this day. And it took for me to not be selfish and think about myself and think about others to give me that fight.”
Bolt (age 30) is retiring from the sport TODAY after he runs the 4×100-meter relay. He chose not to compete in the 200 meters at the world championships.
From Him, Through Him, For Him (Romans 11:36),
