Compatriot and training partner, Yohan Blake, took Usain’s 100m world title with a winning time of 9.92secs.
Usain was unavailable for comment following the race but released a short message via the IAAF website, saying: “I have nothing to say right now. I need some time”.

“I was careful not to get injured before the World Championships. But generally, it was a good race despite the fact that I wanted a better time.”
