Usain Bolt Wins His 10th Gold Medal At The World Championships

With one of his coasting-at-the-end performances in the 200 meters on Thursday, Justin Gatlin still couldn’t get close as the Jamaican won a record 10th gold medal at the world championships.

Looking left and failing to see any red from Gatlin’s jersey, Bolt lifted both arms and punched his thumbs into his chest to show once again he is the greatest sprinter of all time.

With a time of 19.55 seconds, he set the best time of the season. And despite slowing down, he still beat Gatlin by .19 — much more than the .01 second edge Bolt had in Sunday’s 100 final.

Bolt is now 2-0 in Beijing against Gatlin, who had been unbeaten in two seasons, with only the 4x100 relay to come on Saturday.

Once he sat down to savor his victory on a trackside chair, Gatlin came over to congratulate Bolt and the two rivals shook hands and chatted.

Seven years ago, Bolt started his amazing run of gold at the Beijing Olympics and has not lost a major 200 race since. The Jamaican, however, had been struggling with injury since winning his third straight 200 title at the 2013 world championships in Moscow.

And then this happened …….

While soaking in the adoration of the crowd after a race win at worlds, Usain Bolt was accidentally taken down from behind by a clumsy cameraman riding a Segway.

Bolt was at the Bird's Nest when the cameraman hit a metal rail on the side of the track, causing him to veer into the Jamaican athlete.

The Segway-rider hit Bolt in the legs and both men fell backward onto the track.

Bolt didn't appear to be injured after the hit.

The superstar sprinter had just defeated American Justin Gatlin in the 200 meters at worlds, winning with a time of 19.55 seconds. Despite coasting toward the end, he still beat Gatlin by .19.
