Coleman blitzed to a stunning 100m gold medal in Doha in 9.76sec making him the sixth-fastest man in history. He was followed in second place by Justin Gatlin in 9.89s and Canada’s Andre De Grasse in 9.90s.
Traditionally, the 100m is a highlight, and the men’s title was the final event at the Khalifa International Stadium.
The 2017 edition was the last World Championships for Usain Bolt. 2019 will be the first one since 2003 without the great man.
World silver medalist Christian Coleman, the year’s fastest, was the bookmakers favourite to win the event while Andre De Grasse, Akani Simbine, Hakim Sani Brown and Yohan Blake were all fancied to take their chances in a wide-open field.
