Usain BOLT - Jamaica - 2013 Bolt wins the 100m World Championship title in Moscow.

Usain Bolt races to victory at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow from a posse of fellow Jamaicans

with  Justin Gatlin spoiling the party by finishing second.

He said " I am happy but I wanted to do better," "My legs were sore after the semi-finals, I don't know why,

but the world record wasn't on so I came out just to win."Back in Jamaica, they do not expect less than

that from me. They always expect me to dominate!".   It equaled the eighth-fastest time of his career.

In Daegu two years earlier he false started in the final - won by the absent Yohan Blake (9.92)
