It seems the world's fastest man isn't so unbeatable after all, as he Usain Bolt the thunderbolt in the track was beaten by Justin Gatlin in a 100meter race in Rome by a hundredth of a second. This happened yesterday.
Justin actually had to dip his head over the line to win in 9.94 seconds. Usain came in 9.95.
Usain bolt who just recovered from an hamstring ijury explained his performance on the track;
"I got the perfect start that I wanted, then about five steps in I stumbled a bit and that kind of threw my game off. My legs didn't feel like my legs coming into the straight. I guess I need to do more strength work. I think I just need time to get it back together but the fact I got a good start threw me off. At least I got under 10 seconds.
"It is always a good thing to lose. You can figure how to step it up. I knew I wasn't in great shape but I'm not worried. It takes time to get back into shape and I didn't expect much from this race."Usain's next race will be in the men's 200m in next Thursday's Diamond League meeting in Oslo.
