MOSCOW -- His legs were hurting, the rain was pouring and he was trailing late in the race. Doesnt matter. This is Usain Bolt. And nothing gets in the way of him and first place, especially when hes driven as he was Sunday in the 100-meter final at the world championships. Bolt blew by Justin Gatlin with about 30 metres to go and never glanced back. He also didnt even crack a smile when he crossed the finish line because this took a lot more work than the worlds fastest sprinter usually needs. Gatlin was second and Bolts Jamaican teammate, Nesta Carter, took third. Of all Bolts titles, this one will have a special meaning, considering he false-started two years ago in the final to lose his crown. Now, its his again. "Its always great to get back your title," said Bolt, who won in 9.77 seconds. "Im happy with myself I got it done." Many of Bolts top rivals were missing from the field. Gone were Tyson Gay (doping offence) and Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake, who was the reigning champion but skipped the worlds because of an injured hamstring. Shortly after the race, Bolt sauntered around the track with his countrys flag tied around his neck like a cape. These days, he has to be the Superman of his sport. Given all the recent doping scandals, track needs someone to save the day. For now, he will settle for blowing away the dark cloud over his proud sprinting nation, which saw some of its most decorated sprinters fall from grace. Asafa Powell, Sherone Simpson and Veronica Campbell-Brown all tested positive for a banned substance and werent at the worlds. "Im just doing my part by running fast, winning titles and letting the world know you can do it clean," Bolt said. "My focus is to continue doing what I do." And that means running fast times, even on a drenched track. What started as a steady drizzle turned into a downpour just before the gun sounded. So much so that Bolt clowned around when he was introduced to the crowd, pretending to open an umbrella. Really, though, rain doesnt bother him. Not in the least. Neither does anything else, like falling behind early. He knew he might trail Gatlin at the halfway mark, because Bolt has never been a good starter and may have been extra cautious considering what happened in South Korea two years ago. In the lane next to him, Gatlin got off to a great start and thought he might have enough in the tank to beat Bolt, just as he did two months ago in Rome. "Then I saw these long legs coming up on my right side," Gatlin said. "Hes great. Hes just great." These two arent exactly the best of friends, but after the race, Gatlin congratulated Bolt, who had some kind words in return. "For him to say to me, Hey, youre the guy who pushes me to go even faster. Im honoured in that," Gatlin said. "But I thought I had it for a second."Yeezy 350 v2 Cloud White Pas Cher .

The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p.SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Giants lefty reliever Jeremy Affeldt will be sidelined up to six weeks after he strained his left groin Saturday, feeling and hearing a pop on a pitch against Arizona. Affeldt was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, while San Francisco recalled right-hander Jean Machi from Triple-A Fresno to take his place. Affeldt, who already missed time with a strained right oblique muscle, said he had experienced some discomfort in the groin for a couple of weeks and might have "cost" the team some games by pitching through it because he altered his delivery and pitch selection. He said its possible the two injuries are related. "Sometimes being a tough guy doesnt always work out too well," Affeldt said. "Sometimes youve got to learn when not to be one." Manager Bruce Bochy said an MRI exam Saturday night showed a moderate groin strain. Jose Mijares will now take on a bigger role out of the bullpen. "Jeremys going to be out a while," Bochy said. "Thats a tough area for a pitcher. It takes a while to heal." Affeldt is 1-4 with a 3.51 ERA in 38 appearances and 33 1-3 innings this season, but 0-3 over his last 15 outings with three blown saves -- and has blown all four of his total save chances. Bochy had spoken to Affeldt before the injury about backing him off until he got back on track. Bochy said if Affelddt was hurting while on the mound, he didnt tell anybody, saying, "If thats the case, he kept that to himself.dddddddddddd." "As far as I know hes been good to go. It hasnt played a part in whether I was going to use him or not," Bochy said. "Its too bad this happened because hes an important part of the thing." The 34-year-old Affeldt has had his share of rough injury luck in recent seasons -- much of it sustained in off-the-field mishaps. In April 2011, he sprained his right knee and went on the DL after reaching out to catch his then-4-year-old, 60-pound son when the boy jumped off the couch to greet his father. On Sept. 8 that year he sliced his non-throwing hand nearly to an artery separating frozen hamburgers during an outdoor barbecue with his family on an off-day. The paring knife he was using pushed through a hamburger patty and deep into his hand. Affeldt came within a millimeter of an artery and underwent surgery about eight hours after the injury to repair nerve damage in his pinkie. "I got hurt on the field, which is comforting to me," Affeldt said Sunday. After going 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA in 67 appearances over 63 1-3 innings last season for the World Series champion Giants, Affeldt received an $18 million, three-year contract. Re-signing the reliable reliever was among general manager Brian Sabeans top priorities. ' ' '
