When is 200m final london 2017

Someone else showed up in his place -- this Other Bolt who finished third in the last week, then caught a cramp in the 4x and could not finish the race. Usain Bolt is the man with three world records, nine Olympic triumphs and countless come-from-behind victories. He's the man who said in Rio last summer, "There was no one on that track that could outrun me to the finish.

The Other Bolt was outrun to the finish three times in London -- and that was just in the So, when the Other Bolt got the baton in third place on the 4x anchor leg, it was clear he was not going to win. It was the worst possible ending for an athlete whose performances and personality kept his struggling sport afloat. Despite this disastrous final meet, Usain Bolt remains the greatest sprinter of all time and one of the most thrilling and popular athletes ever.

The memories of the Other Bolt will fade, just as they did of so many other greats who chose not to leave at their peak. Which is their right -- to compete as long as their sport gives them joy, not as long as they show us what we want to see. Great Britain won the relay and China finished third. Bolt always said his joy came from the fans. Asked why he didn't retire after Rio, his third consecutive Olympics with three gold medals, Bolt said he wanted to run one more season so the people could feel him one more time -- and vice versa.

That made his ending even sadder. The 60, faithful fans who came to Olympic Stadium to witness history Saturday were deprived of the traditional last lap around the stadium. The sporting world went to bed without a word from their hero. There would be no iconic "To Di World" pose -- he went straight to the infirmary and left the arena without a public word.

The Jamaican team doctor, Kevin Jones, said he was struck down by a cramp in his left hamstring, "but a lot of pain is from the disappointment of losing the race. One has to wonder what the Other Bolt thought as he took the baton on the anchor leg, exited the exchange zone and found himself one stride behind American Christian Coleman and two behind Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake of Great Britain.

He took six strides toward the finish line of his career. The gap did not close. On the seventh, he threw his head back with a grimace, hopped twice to keep weight off his left leg and somersaulted to the track. Did he realize he could not win? What I'm about to say would be inconceivable for Usain Bolt, but Could the Other Bolt have chosen to succumb to a twinge in his own body rather than lose to another man? Bolt is 31, with a history of nagging back and hamstring injuries. Is there any graceful way to age?

On Saturday, the runners were kept waiting longer than scheduled before their race as the temperature dipped toward 60 degrees. His heart has never been questioned. Enough of that. IAAFWorlds pic. It's the M Final. Is it a Makwala Vs Niekerk battle? And we are in the final event of the evening session — the men's m final. Is Wayde van Niekerk tired? Or is this Isaac Makwala's moment?

I will do my best in the Final: Davinder. Davinder said he was sorry about Neeraj. American Christian Taylor bids to achieve his last goal in the event by breaking British great Jonathan Edwards's year-old world record of Taylor has posted the second and fourth best ever marks and is determined to get there so he can then move on to the metres.

Why not here? I hope it is my time. I am staying optimistic. I am chasing that number more than you could ever know. The United States will hope that another of their Olympic champions Dalilah Muhammad will also add world gold to her titles. Her main opposition could well come from the two-time defending champion Czech Zuzana Hejnova whilst British team captain Eilidh Doyle will hope the home roars of the packed stadium can at the every least carry her into a medal finish.

For someone who was running her first race of the season Almaz Ayana did pretty well Now she turns her attention to the title she is defending and even with her legendary compatriot Tirunesh Dibaba opposing her the latter suggested that silver in the 10k was more than satisfactory given she is now focusing on the marathon so this could be way too short for her. Britain's Laura Muir could be an interesting contender if she has got over the disappointment of just being run out of the medals in the m.

Wayde van Niekerk scraped into the final after finishing an underwhelming third in his semi-final in pouring rain just 24 hours after winning m gold. That was also complicated after Botswana's Isaac Makwala managed to qualify having been given the chance to run a solo time-trial, having served a hour quarantine period after being diagnosed with the norovirus bug. Defending world champion Dafne Schippers, bronze medallist in the m, will seek to advance smoothly to the final.

The Dutchwoman, whose chances of overall success were boosted by the withdrawal of newly-crowned m champion Tori Bowie, will more than likely be challenged by Ivorian Marie-Josee Ta Lou, who narrowly missed out on a medal in the blue riband event.
