The legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who will retire from the Lonone World Cup, finished third in the 100m.

The winner was the scandalous American Justin Gatlin, who previously came across twice on the use of doping.

In 2006, an increased content of testosterone was found in the athlete's blood. Then he was removed from the competition for 8 years, but then the term was reduced to 4. Prior to that, he was also disqualified for amphetamines, but he managed to challenge this decision by explaining a positive trial of medications that he had taken since childhood.

The stadium whistled Gatlin after the finish. And Bolt embraced him and supported him.

"Silver" went to another American - Christian Coleman.

The 30-year-old Bolt is the only athlete who managed to win at 100 and 200 meters in three consecutive Olympics: in Beijing (2008), London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016).

On his account, the current world records in the run at 100 m (9.58 seconds) and 200 m (19.19).

6 times he was recognized as the best athlete of the world by the version of the International Association of Athletics Federations (2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016).
