Justin Gatlin hangs onto the flying Usain Bolt as the sprinters approach the finish line in the men's 200 metres.
Gatlin had a personal best of 19.57 set earlier in June, so even at his best he would not have won.
Thirty three year old Justin had to settle for a second silver behind the amazing Jamaican.
