Wie immer erwartete man, dass er mit gro\u00dfem Abstand zu seinen sieben Konkurrenten als Erster \u00fcber die Ziellinie laufen w\u00fcrde. Aber dieses Mal - <strong>zum ersten Mal seit fast zehn Jahren in einem 100-m-Finale<\/strong> - war es anders. In einem knappen Finish belegte Bolt den dritten Platz (9,95s) hinter den US-Sprintern Justin Gatlin (9,92s) und Christian Coleman (9,94s).<br\/>\n<br\/>Letzte Woche auf einer Pressekonferenz in London, <strong>Bolt war sich sicher, dass er immer noch der schnellste Mann der Welt war.<\/strong> \u201cKommt schon, ihr kennt mich doch. Wenn ich bei einer Meisterschaft auftauche, wisst ihr, dass ich volles Vertrauen habe und bereit bin, loszulegen.\u201d Nach dem Halbfinale, in dem er hinter Christian Coleman den zweiten Platz belegte, gab Bolt jedoch zu, dass er seinen Start verbessern m\u00fcsse. \u201cEs war sehr schlecht, ich stolperte aus den Bl\u00f6cken, ich mag sie nicht, <strong>Ich muss mich erst einmal sammeln.\u201d<\/strong> Im Finale hat er alles gegeben, aber es hat nicht gereicht. Usain war es nicht verg\u00f6nnt, seine Karriere mit einem Sieg zu beenden. \u201cMeine Beine tun mir jetzt weh. Es ist das erste Mal, dass ich laufe, und meine Beine tun weh, <strong>also ist es Zeit zu gehen<\/strong>\u201d, sagte er nach dem letzten Rennen.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Wide;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Usain Bolt and Colin Jackson\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Usain-Bolt-last_G9.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"descr\">Usain bei einer Pressekonferenz in London letzte Woche mit dem Moderator und ehemaligen Weltklasse-Athleten Colin Jackson<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Seine Niederlage hat keinen Schaden angerichtet. <strong>Die 56.000 Menschen im Londoner Stadion jubelten ihm zu<\/strong>, w\u00e4hrend sie den frischgebackenen Weltmeister Gatlin ausbuhten. Der 35-J\u00e4hrige war zuvor zweimal wegen Dopingverst\u00f6\u00dfen gesperrt worden. Bolt jedoch, eine Klasse f\u00fcr sich, hielt sich nicht mit Trauer auf und ging sofort hin\u00fcber, um ihm zu gratulieren. Gatlin verbeugte sich vor ihm, um dem vielleicht besten Sportler der Welt zu huldigen. <strong>gr\u00f6\u00dfter Sportler aller Zeiten<\/strong>.<br\/>\n<br\/>Usain Bolt hat den Sport ein ganzes Jahrzehnt lang dominiert, und wann immer er sich in seine Bl\u00f6cke setzte, hofften die Menschen nicht auf seinen Sieg, sondern erwarteten ihn.
