World Championships: Bolt beaten by Christian Coleman in semi-final

By Daily Sports on August 6, 2017

 Usain Bolt ran under 10 seconds for the second time in 2017, finishing behind American Christian Coleman to qualify for the World Championship 100m final.

The Jamaican started slowly to run 9.98 as Coleman won the semi-final in 9.97.

Great Britain's Reece Prescod came from last place in his semi to clock 10.05 and qualify behind Yohan Blake (10.04).

American Justin Gatlin - twice banned for doping - was again booed by the crowd but qualified behind Akani Simbine for Saturday's 21:45 BST final.

South Africa's Simbine produced 10.05 to improve on Friday's heats when he needed a fastest-loser place to progress, while Gatlin managed 10.09.

Bolt, meanwhile, reeled in his rivals after a sluggish drive from blocks he said were troublesome to his start on Friday.
