sain Bolt's retirement party was ruined by a man booed previously, then after the fact the greater part of his races at the big showdowns — American Justin Gatlin.
It was Gatlin, the 35-year-old Olympic 100m champion from 2004 (the last before Bolt's rising), who won the 100m title at the big showdowns in London on Saturday night. He inclined at the line in 9.92 seconds, edging kinsman Christian Coleman (9.94).
Bronze for Bolt in 9.95 seconds.
"You can't win everything," Bolt, who didn't seem to shed tears, revealed to NBC's Lewis Johnson with a snicker. "My body is stating it's a great opportunity to go. Each morning I wake up, I'm in a little torment here, a little torment there."
His slowest 100m last time in seven Olympic and world completions. Jolt has been decelerating since 2012. Some person at long last got him.
It was Gatlin who gave Bolt his initially vanquish in a worldwide last in 10 years (2011 false begin aside). It was Gatlin who, after snapshots of sitting tight for the scoreboard results to appear, shouted and held a forefinger to his mouth.
Hush.
