So while they're no "Olympics" I do enjoy the World Championships as it's....well....consolation til the next big O.
I swore, swore, SWORE that Gatlin was going to hand Bolt his @$$ at the World's. That last heat race Gatlin ran 9.77.....whilst EASING UP as he crossed the line.
Bolt barely mustered a 9.95 after a stumble on his last heat & never really looked like 9.7x shape runner, especially with all his start troubles.
Anyway.....just saw the 200 today and just can't believe it. (not even close)
I don't know if Gatlin (as good as he's running now....& all PED jokes aside) will ever have as good a chance as he had at this World's.

Thanks for posting the video. I'd seen stills and read an article, but hadn't quite figured out what exactly happened.
Obviously, Bolt is the best of the best, even with his start problems. He is so strong about 1/4 of the race in to the finish, it's beautiful to see. Neither Bolt of Gatlin are Canadian, so I have no patriotic preference. I root for Andre DeGrasse, but he decided to only run the 100m at the Worlds. He won everything at the PanAm games. He is strong, bot not at Bolt's or Gatlin's level (yet?)
And yeah, thanks for the animation, I had only read about it, but had not seen it.
Obviously, Bolt is the best of the best.
The End.
That's gonna hurt for a few days.
Are we there, yet?
There's a lesson here somewhere.

Then to add insult to injury.......THE US MEN ABSOLUTELY ****BLOW**** the 4X100 relay!! Americans need to go back to school for "Baton-passing 101!!!"

Yeap. I don't even see Gatlin at the same level.
