What finally upended the 6-foot-5 Jamaican was a multitasking cameraman riding a two-wheeled scooter while videotaping Bolt’s victory lap. The scooter ran over the outcropping of a metal railing bolted to the edge of the track and bobbled off course — then slammed into the back of the fastest two legs on the planet.

Gatlin, Powell Gracious In Defeat
Gatlin hailed Bolt as a “great champion” after the world recorder holder clocked 9.79 seconds, that 100th of a second better than his 9.80 in the final.
“I told him before the race that win or lose he’s a great champion so let’s make it a good race,” said Gatlin, who many people had picked to get the better of Bolt.
“It was a great race against a great guy and I’m happy that I represented my country. The race got away from me in the last five meters but he’s a gamer,” said Gatlin. “He’s a showman and you know everyone that lines up against him have to bring it.”
