Matches in DBpedia 2015-10 for { ?s ?p "The men's 100 metres at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 22 and 23 August.The not so recent history of the event was well represented here; Kim Collins 2003 winner, Justin Gatlin 2005 winner, Tyson Gay 2007 winner and Usain Bolt 2009 and 2013 winner. Add Asafa Powell and you have the majority of podium placers for the previous decade in this field. With all the fast times he had produced, this looked like Justin Gatlin's time to beat world record holder Usain Bolt. Bolt had given no indication of being prepared to match Gatlin this year. Gatlin ran 9.83 and 9.77 in the rounds to get to the finals, Bolt was less outstanding with a pair of 9.96's which were simliar to the other finalists Andre De Grasse, who matched him in his semi-final, veteran rivals Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell and barely ahead of time qualifiers Trayvon Bromell, Jimmy Vicaut and Su Bingtian. Vicaut and Bingtian made it a 9 lane final by an exact tie for the final qualifying position at 9.986. Fortunately the Beijing stadium has a ninth lane to occupy. Mike Rodgers was the clear second best in the semi-finals with a 9.86 behind Gatlin.In the final, Gatlin got off to his usual strong start, but Bolt was not left behind and Bromell was about even. Gatlin and Bolt clearly separated from the field but Bolt just kept gaining on Gatlin's narrow lead. At the line it was Bolt a hundredth of a second ahead of the straining Gatlin. On the outside, De Grasse came up late to exactly match his NCAA rival Bromell in a rare tie for the bronze medal, both with the time of 9.911 measured to the thousandth. After a wind-aided 9.75 led to high expectations earlier in the year, it was DeGrasse's personal best.9.79 might seem pedestrian relative to the high standards Bolt has achieved, including the World Record 9.58 he set in these Championships in 2009 and the 9.63 he ran in 2012 in the Olympics, but only seven men in history have run 9.79 or better officially. Of those seven, four were in this race (not including the windy time from DeGrasse)."@en }
