In the aftermath of the Men’s 100m World Championship final on Sunday, the athletics world is still reeling from Usain Bolt finishing third (in his final professional race) and losing out to the controversial Justin Gatlin who took the gold medal whilst his fellow American Christian Coleman took the Silver.
Bolt was the huge favourite to win what would have been his twentieth gold medal but had to settle for the bronze this time.

The medal ceremony was no better for him with boos ringing around the London stadium.
