Jamaican star, Usain
Bolt, has retained his world 100m title at the ongoing IAAF World Championships
in Beijing, China.
Despite
struggling to make it to the finals, Bolt showed up when it mattered most as he
ran a season best time of 9.79secs to beat his closest rival, Justin Gatlin,
who placed second in the star-studded final race.
BBC/PREMIUM TIMES report:
Bolt
is the world and Olympic record holder with 9.58secs but many believed his

the season.
