Justin Bloody Gatlin just beat Usain Bolt in the World Championships. Someone else came second but I don't care about him. This is bullshit.

I wouldnt have minded Coleman winning it, pipping him on the line as he did to pass the torch, but Gatlin being there and winning just ruins it.

Great effort young Reece Prescod getting into that final as well.

Since we don't have an athletics thread...

Mo got a silver

But we won the relay! Our boys can really shift it, Gemili can properly shift it

And Bolt is limping away

Can we get an athletics thread? It isn't right that we're discussing Bolt and such in the thread dedicated to Russia's nightmare. 

That relay was incredible, one of the most exciting races I've ever watched. British guys did us proud, brilliant win. 

But...Bolt 

EDIT: Taken it upon myself to make a dedicated Athletics thread

That is how I feel, end of an era for athletics and for such an amazing sprinter.

Something I love about track and field and all of that is that you know who the best ever is. You can argue all day in the pub what is the best football team that has ever played but it is all subjective, but we know that Bolt is the fastest over 100m and van Niekerk is the best ever in 400m.
