The Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt, shocked his fans by losing a race yesterday. The
26-year-old Jamaican, who holds the world 100m record, came second in a
100m sprint in Rome to 31-year-old American sprinter, Justin Gatlin.
Bolt,
who finished in 9.95 seconds compared to Gatlin's 9.94, has not lost a
100m race since 2010, when he was suffering from a back injury. The shock defeat occurred last night at the Rome Golden Gala Diamond League meeting in front of thousands of spectators. Bolt, who holds the current
world record after running the 100m in 9.58 seconds in 2009, started the
race well, but then stumbled and could not regain his lead on Gatlin, a
former drugs cheat.
Afterwards
Bolt, who refers to himself as 'a legend', tried to shrug off his
performance as a jubilant Gatlin danced around the track to celebrate
his victory.
