Bolt Stumbles in London |
The world most decorated short distance athlete, Usain Bolt sprained his ankle, stumbled in IAAF World Championship 2017 in London.
The fastest man on earth felt a sharp pain on his ankle, struggled a bit before dramatically falling to the ground while trying to redeem his team, which is in the position of winning a bronze medal to possibly overrun the ambitious America and Britain's last runners to a gold medal.
Bolt who had earlier lost his gold medal chance in 100m to settle for bronze and lost another chance of bagging any medal in the 200m, stumbled on his way to finish in a medal position in 4x100m Relay.
The Jamaican lost his 100m gold medal to American Justin Gaitlin. He forfeited his 200m gold to Guliyev, a Turkish and fail to reach the end line as the final lap sprinter in the 4x100m relay to the highly motivated Great Britain & Northern Island team while the Americans clinched the silver medal.
His team mate and first leg runner, Yohan Blake, faults the organizers for their failure in London for delay. "Bolt was cold" he added.
The unparalleled 3-in-3 star, however, ended up without any gold medal in London 2017. What a surprise!
Whereas, the former World and Olympic champion had announced his plan to retire after this competition hopefully on a high note but unfortunately it is not to be.
"Will he stand on his words or stage a return?" is the question in everyone's mind. How the mighty falling.
