Usain Bolt was no longer stunning.  He was just stunned.
At the end of a career in which he has dominated his sport for a decade, Bolt was beaten in his final 100-meter race by an American almost five years his senior: Justin Gatlin.
Calling it quits at age 30 and looking for a golden farewell in his last individual race at the world championships, Bolt lost to a man who produced a comeback not only on Saturday but also through a doping-tainted career.
In a tight finish, Bolt was punished for his slow start, and Gatlin fought back to nip everyone at the line in 9.92 seconds. Christian Coleman took silver in 9.94 seconds, and Bolt got bronze in 9.95.
“My start is killing me,” Bolt said. “Normally it gets better during the rounds, but it didn’t come together.”
