The men's 100 metres at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics was held at the London Olympic Stadium on 4−5 August. This meet was announced as the last competition for Usain Bolt. The race was won by Justin Gatlin of the United States, ahead of Gatlin's team-mate Christian Coleman, with Bolt finishing third.
Summary
In the first semi final Justin Gatlin qualified but seemed to struggle, losing to Akani Simbine. In the second semi final, 2011 champion Yohan Blake barely held off the home town Reece Prescod. Run into slight headwinds those semis were unimpressive, slower than ten seconds. In the third semi final, Christian Coleman was out to a significant lead, but Bolt got into his running form and made up the gap, then eased off at the finish. The crowd sensed there is a lot more in the tank, Coleman's 9.97 the fastest semi.
In the final, Coleman again got his fast start, with Bolt next to him expecting to make up ground. Out in lane eight from his second place finish, Gatlin got a decent start behind Coleman. As Bolt edged closer to Coleman it was clear he wasn't getting there fast enough, but on the outside it was Gatlin with the speed, catching Coleman. Bolt dipped at the finish but it was too little to late. In the photo finish, Gatlin was the clear winner in a Masters world record[1] 9.92, Coleman second and Bolt third.[2]
