It took Jamaican Usain Bolt 9.77sec to take the 100m victory at the world championships in Moscow ahead of Justin Gatlin.
Bolt made amends after disqualification from the same race two years ago in Daegu but was unable to recapture his form from Berlin in 2009, when he won gold in a world-record 9.58sec.
Gatlin claimed silver in 9.85sec and Nesta Carter took bronze with a time of 9.95sec in the Luzhniki stadium.
Bolt was the hot favourite in the absence of the injured 2011 winner Yohan Blake and the 2007 champion Tyson Gay, who had recently failed a dope test.
The Jamaican had sauntered into the final earlier in the evening in a time of 9.92sec. – theguardian
