Thank you Sir!- Greg Christie (@Greg0706) Thank you for a decade's worth of performances that kept the world on its toes.
- Andrew Holness (@AndrewHolnessJM) Bolt losing to someone who shouldn't be allowed to race anyway! - Sam Gelsthorpe (@sam_gelsthorpe) The result aside, Usain Bolt will always be remembered as a Champion and Justin Gatlin will always be remembered as a cheat... - JOSHUA CRISP (@IAmJoshua_) Despite tonight what a man Usain Bolt is Greatest ever athlete and we will never see another like him - Mark Hunter (@m_hunter94) Gatlin got the gold but who's getting all the love?

Thank you!- Henry Fraser (@henryfraser0) Athletics moves into new era with Bolt retiring having been beaten in final race by Gatlin, twice banned for doping- Rob Harris (@RobHarris) There will never be another athlete like Usain Bolt.

Defeat was the only thing that was missing, the most enduring experience for the soul- Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) IS ALWAYS A LEGEND - Max Whitlock MBE (@maxwhitlock1) Goodbye legend. Always favoured the americans, but you continued to baffle time and again. Fortunate to have seen you race - Vaibhav Manocha (@BeingMinchu) Everyone reaction when Bolt didn't win. - Marvelous Marv (@Marvelousmarv5) Me waiting for the Americans to be exposed for doping again so Bolt gets his rightful Gold - Honeypot (@SunchiiChenn) Bolt is taking a lap of honour around the stadium with the Jamaican flag. We will sorely miss this post-race ritual :(- Vipul (@Sporty_Baba) There's a time for rivalry & a time to show respect to whom it's due.
That's the spirit of sportsmanship!
Gatlin x Usain Bolt - Umeh and 99 others (@UmehOMA) As retires this is a moment I'll never forget - Ryan Sheehan (@Sheehan_92) You made millions of fans happy and smiling, being an example for everyone: thank you ! - Paulo Dybala (@PauDybala_JR) Photo of the night... Justin Gatlin & Usain Bolt - George Orfanakis (@G_Orfan) Usain Bolt may have lost.......but the dude still faster than my internet. - Jake Follow Help (@JakePaulGain) Good on the BBC for paying no attention to the cheat and concentrating entirely on Bolt. And to everyone in the crowd for booing the cheat.- Andy Hunter (@AHunterGuardian) Justin Gatlin will always be remembered as a cheat.. Usain Bolt will always be remembered as a legend - amber Jennings (@amberJennings6) It doesn't matter where he finishes. This is what a World Champion feels. - Kushan Sarkar (@kushansarkar) Adios ! Thanks for the memories! You truly transcended sport & athletics! The coolest athlete ever. A few words about the LEGEND! - Prashant Paul (@PrashantSport) Spare a thought for Gatlin; He has waited 12 yrs for this. Last time he won 100m Gold in World Championships was in 2005 - (@India_AllSports) And there is the pose. The stadium doesn't care for Justin Gatlin even if the mantle has passed.
Champion with his final bow - Boria Majumdar (@BoriaMajumdar) Thought it was some other planet where could lose a 100m! Reassuring he is human, perhaps Superhuman. - Kushan Sarkar (@kushansarkar) Usain Bolt laughed off the question this week, but when asked 2 1/2 years ago, said he didn't think he could end his career with a loss.- Nick Zaccardi (@nzaccardi) This was the same place where He whizzed past me in 2012 opening ceremony, & the same place I saw him - joydeep karmakar (@Joydeep709) Over to boys to ensure Bolt finishes with a gold when he runs the relays. - Moulin (@Moulinparikh) The crowd that cheers Mo Farah boos Justin Gatlin... hilarious!! - Hugh Cahill (@hughcahill7) The winning time ties the 2011 Worlds (Blake) for the worst 100m winning time at Worlds/Olympics since 2003 (10.07 by Collins).. - Kalle August (@FINdyCar) Bolt hugging Gatlin! What a champion, this man is! - G Rajaraman (@g_rajaraman) London stadium's like... - Reem Abulleil (@ReemAbulleil) Justin Gatlin can now die saying he beat Usain Bolt at least once- Sandeep Narayan (@Sandeepnyn) I know institution is bigger than an individual and all... But is off its life support system. Will it survive? - Mihir Vasavda (@mihirsv) Cheaters do prosper - Sandeep Narayan (@Sandeepnyn) Gatlin got poetic justice - rupayan bhattacharya (@rupayanb) Arguably greatest athlete after Muhammad Ali. Take a bow- Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) Its like Gatlin kept running all this while for this one race. No fairytale send off for Bolt. - Akhilesh Nair (@akhileshf5) In last 10 meters I thought he had it. Time and again he has had it in his career.
