Bolt Recovers From Stumble to Qualify For 100m Finals at World Championships
Jamaica’s Usain Bolt qualified for the men’s 100 metres final at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing today after clocking a time of 9.96 seconds in Heat 1.
Bolt had a horrible start and even appeared to stumble in the first few metres of the race but somehow managed to recover and produced just enough pace late in the race to qualify.
Canada’s Andre De Grasse, who also clocked 9.96 seconds automatically qualifies for the final with Bolt.
Asafa Powell also qualified from Heat 3 with a time of 9.97 seconds. He finished the race in second place behind the American sprinter Tyson Gay who clocked 9.96 seconds.
In form American sprinter Justin Gatlin easily won Heat 2 with an impressive time of 9.77 seconds.
Another American earned automatic qualification from Heat 2 as Mike Rodgers ran 9.86 seconds to take second place.
Dear Lord please touch Usain and help him to be victorious again. We ask in Your precious name and believe. Thank You Jesus, amen.
Let’s go Jamaica….we the best!!
