At the World Athletics Championships in London, Bolt won only a bronze medal in the final 100 meters race, losing to "gold" American sprinter Justin Gatlin.
"Silver" was won by another US representative, Chris Coleman.
World Cup 2017 / final 100 m. Usain Bolt lost for the first time.
The last time Bolt could not win the gold of the competition in 2011, then he was disqualified in the final race for 100 meters due to a false start.

Life after doping: Justin Gatlin The story of main rival Usain Bolt, who runs faster at 34 than in 22
His first term for doping Justin departed before he achieved great success. In 2001, he was caught using amphetamines and was disqualified for two years. Gatlin appealed, explaining that the dope had got into his body with the medicine he had been treating since childhood when he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Disqualification was reduced to one year, and while the athlete did not get caught in doping for the second time, few people remembered her.

Before the Olympics-2004 with Gatlin, of course, were considered, but he was not the main contender for victory. His main achievements at that time were wins on the hundred-meter mark at a major tournament Moscow Challenge and at a distance of 60 meters at the World Indoor Championships. At the Olympics, Gatlin attracted attention in the semifinals. Not reaching the finish line, he began to chat about something cheerfully with his partner in the team, Sean Crawford, with whom Justin at that time was training. Crawford, by the way, later also was disqualified for doping.
The rivalry between Bolt and Gatlin is often presented as a confrontation of pure and dirty sport - or, if we look quite broadly, like the struggle between good and evil. Not to love a Jamaican is difficult. In its best races, it looks as if nothing is easier than running a hundred-meter mark for 9.58 (the world record set at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin) or 200 meters for 19.19 (the world record established at the same time and there The same).

Even more fans like how Bolt behaves before the start. He fools to the last, and then wins and celebrates the victory with a proprietary pose - aiming at the sky archer.
