The eyes of the world had descended on the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing and the tension was so palpable that the atmosphere could have been cut through with a knife. Nevertheless only one man could be crowned champion and it was Triple World Record holder, Usain Bolt that delivered when it mattered the most, striding to GOLD in 9.79s to claim his third 100m title, joining the exclusive class of legend Carl Lewis and Maurice Greene.

The stellar lineup for this fantastically awaited race included three world champions (former and reigning); Bolt, Justin Gatlin (2005) and Tyson Gay (2007). It also had four of the five fastest men EVER – Bolt, Gatlin, Gay and Asafa Powell, with Jamaica’s Yohan Blake missing from the showdown which will go down in history as one of the most anticipated men’s 100m final of all time.
