Rain and Thunder BOLTs in Moscow as Usain Storms 100m Final

By Nisar Khan

Usain Bolt further enforced his supreme dominance in Athletics as he won the 100m Men’s Final in Moscow with a time of 9.77 seconds in his quickest 100m run of the year.

 In the first of three Semi-Finals, Justin Gatlin prevailed with a time of 9.95 followed by Nesta Carter. China’s Bingtian Su was disqualified following the false start while Gatlin and Nesta qualified automatically.

Great Britain’s James Dasaolu was in the Second Semi-Final, after he managed to just get through qualifying on Saturday. Another false start saw Canada’s Gavin Smellie receive a warning for a twitch before the gun.

James Dasaolu lead at around 70m but Nickel Ashmeade and Kemar Bailey-Cole overtook him to automatically qualify with times of 9.90s and 9.93s. Dasaolu would get through to the final being the fastest loser with a sub-10 time.

And in the third Semi-Final, Usain Bolt took the third Semi-Final in 9.92, and he seemed composed while even smiling at Mike Rogers who came second.

Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin were the two hot topics going into a great race which saw Justin Gatlin get off to a great start, but Usain Bolt would chase him down and storm ahead.

It was not the day however for Britain’s James Desaolu who came eighth in the race and Christopher Leimatre picked up an injury during the race.

Usain Bolt’s fellow compatriot Nesta Carter picked up Bronze coming Third with a time of 9.95.

Usain Bolt won the tight race in 9.77 seconds meanwhile Justin Gatlin claimed Silver with a time of 9.85.

Bolt has got the title back of which he lost in 2011 after a false start in the final.

 It was an excellently ran performance by the double Olympic Champion, who kept to a steady pace and ran the race calm before taking off in the final laps.

Mo Farah exemplified his presence during the race, running to the front of the pack to take a momentarily lead with 17 laps to go.

The Olympic Champion then slowed back down where he settled in the middle of the pack for the majority of the race.

Maybe not as much a ‘fluid’ race that Mo Farah would have preferred, but his hard work showed and he picks up the deserving win.

The race took it’s toll and all of those who were running, with a slower final lap as fatigue took effect.

In a nail-biting last lap, Mo Farah managed to outrun Silver Medalist Ibrahim Jailan, and the expression in his face was clear from agony to delight.

Seats were indeed on edge for the battle in the final 200m between Farah and Jailan, it was a showcase of incredible talent.

Post race, Mo Farah talked about how hard he trained for this, and he had to spend a lot of time away from his family so much that one of his twins did not recognize him in London as he was away for so long. But the hard work has payed off.

Mo Farah triumphs in an incredible performance. Has the double Olympic Champion now solidified greatness?

Mo Farah is the 10,000m World Champion.
