Usain Bolt continues to rule the sprinting world

Usain Bolt continues to rule the sprinting world


WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS

  • Venue: Moscow, Russia
  •  
  • Date: 10-18 August
Coverage: Live on BBC TV, BBC Radio 5 live, BBC Sport website, mobiles, tablets and Connected TVs.
It is a mark of Usain Bolt's talent that after winning yet another world title here in Moscow he seemed almost disappointed with his performance.
The time of 9.77 seconds was slow by his exceptional standards and some way off his world record of 9.58secs set in Berlin four years ago.
But on a night when electric storms provided the spectacular backdrop to another world-beating performance, he still showed why he is the sport's biggest draw.
The final was missing some of the world's fastest men. No Asafa Powell and no Tyson Gay - both forced to pull out after testing positive for banned drugs. And no defending champion Yohan Blake after injury ruled out Bolt's Jamaican understudy.
