The 25-year-old, who has been the unchallenged star of world sprinting in recent years, lost out in his bid to defend his world title when he made a dreadful error in leaving his blocks before the starter's gun.

Bolt said: "I'm extremely disappointed not to have had the chance to defend my title due to the false start. I was feeling great through the rounds and was ready to run fast in the final. I worked very hard to get ready for this championships and things were looking good. However, I have to move on now as there is no point to dwell on the past. I have a few days to refocus and get ready for the 200m on Friday."
