Bolt resurgence !!

Bolt produces magic to upset Gatlin in 100m world
final
By Joy Sports
Usain Bolt upset the form book to defend his World
Championship 100m title with a dramatic win over
hot favourite Justin Gatlin in the final at the Bird
Nest's Stadium in Beijing.
Jamaica's world record holder ended Gatlin's
unbeaten run that had stretched over 28 races with a
winning time of 9.79seconds - a season's best for a
man who had been plagued by injury and lack of
consistency entering Beijing.
American's Trayvon Bromell claimed bronze with a
time of 9.92 seconds. Gatlin was a 2/5 favourite for
the title with Bolt drifting to 9/4 after the semi-finals,
but the Olympic champion used all his reserves of
power and strength to hunt down Gatlin despite
getting off to a slower start in the final.
He admitted he had toiled to get the proper spring
from the starting blocks, but his natural sprinting
talent saw him through. Bolt will be a popular winner
of the world title for a third time coming against
Galtin, a figure who has twice served a drugs ban
despite winning the 100m Olympic title himself in
2004.
"I understand why (people wanted me to win), but I
wanted to do it for myself," said Bolt. "It is a big
deal."
Bolt won the race on the line with a frantic dip after
reeling in the American in the closing 30 metres of a
tension-packed race.
