IT’S ALWAYS A pulsating event to see in motion. It’s over in a flash, but the power put on the floor by the world’s fastest men always leaves a residue that lasts infinitely longer than the race itself.
In Beijing today, Usain Bolt overcame the challenge of two-time convicted drug cheat and 2015′s fastest man, Justin Gatlin. Here’s how it looked.
After 100 hard metres, there’s not much to choose between them
The two pre-race favourites were separated by 0.01 seconds
Across the line, and Gatlin looks like he’s taken it…
But Bolt is eyeing up the results on the board
Americans to the left, Americans to the right
Jennifer Bolt knows who the champ is
A winning time of 9.79, SMILE!
A trademark celebration while Gatlin settles for silver
The fastest man in history
Still number one
