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.
