Was Bolt paid to lose the race to Gatlin?
The Gatling Machine Gun made the fast Bolt of lightning look like a Colt .45 at London Olympics.
Fans of the world’s fastest man (Usain Bolt) are asking questions after Bolt came in 3rd in what is supposed to be his final “individual” men’s 100m race.
There were millions of disappointed fans in Jamaica, Brittain and around the world on Friday when Usain Bolt succumbed to either fatigue or a bribe some people are saying and lost the race to USA’s Justin Gatlin and Christian Coleman who placed first and second, respectively, at the Championships in London.
Bolt finished the photo finish race with 9.95 seconds to Gatlin’s 9.92 and Coleman’s 9.94.
If there was any man, who could beat Bolt not surprisingly it would be Gatlin. Gatling is strong, he’s fast and exceptionally focus when competing on the field.
While Gatlin could prove to be the top contender in the 2020 Olympics, it noteworthy to mention that the younger 21-year-old Coleman, a star in his own right, may very well throw a monkey wrench in Gatlin’s spokes — because of Gatlin’s age.
By the time the 2020 Olympics rolls around the 6’1″ 183 lbs, Gatlin will be 38 years old, and Coleman will be — what many consider — the prime age for most sprinters, 24-years-old.
Canada’s Andre De Grasse will be the other runner to watch in 2020.
Bolt still holds the 100m sprint record (of 9.58 seconds), as the world’s fastest man alive known or revealed to the public.
