New Delhi: In the in the midst of the countless critiques that have been directed towards Justin Gatlin for his stunning performance at the Olympic Stadium, London, on Sunday, the 35 year old American sprinter moved towards Usain Bolt and fell to the ground in tears. It was an event that could have been Bolt's. The four-time World 100m champion Gatlin was in London to defend his title. The 100m race was his final race of his career , and 55900 spectators were fixed on the Jamaican. It was a disappointing end for Gatlin, who finished his career with the bronze medal. The past has seen Gatlin was forced to be on the sidelines for doping, not just once, but twice. Gatlin isn't a well-known sprinter or a favorite sportsperson. On Sunday, Bolt was beaten by Bolt in what could have been an ideal goodbye. But Gatlin continued walking towards Bolt and knelt to express his gratitude. The photo became viral across every social media platform. Bolt immediately gave Bolt a hug, and whispered words to his ears in celebration.
