Sprint superstar Usain Bolt won the 100 metres gold medal at the World Championships in Russia in a time of 9.78 seconds in the rain.
Behind the Jamaican superstar, who took his fourth individual world title, American Justin Gatlin won silver in 9.85 and Bolt’s countryman Nesta Carter took bronze in 9.95.
Briton James Dasaolu, 25, crossed the line in last place after a fantastic start, clocking a slow 10.21 - but will still be pleased to have reached the final.
World-record holder Bolt famously false-started in the final at the 2011 championships in Daegu in South Korea - where compatriot Yohan Blake, absent this year with a hamstring injury, subsequently won - but stormed through at the Luzhniki Stadium to regain the title he first won in Berlin in 2009.
He will also contest the 200m and the 4x100m relay in Russia.
Bolt will look to win a seventh and eighth world gold in those events. He also has silver medals in the 200 and relay from the 2007 Worlds in his career haul, along with a perfect six Olympic gold medals from the last two editions of the Games.
