Usain Bolt did it again this weekend, winning gold at the same stadium he blasted onto the world stage in at the 2008 Olympics. Last night, Bolt crossed the finish line at the IAAF World Athletics Championships men’s 100m finals with a time 9.79 seconds, following Justin Gatlin, who took the silver medal a mere 0.01 seconds behind and forfeiting probably his best chance to beat the unstoppable Jamaican. Bronze was shared between Andre de Grasse and Trayvon Bromell, finishing at 9.92 seconds. Chinese hopeful Su Bingtian came last with a time of 9.99.
