Sprinter Usain Bolt has beaten Justin Gatlin to win the 100m title at the World Athletics Championships.

Bolt had stumbled out of the blocks in winning his semi-final but managed to run a season's best time of 9.79 seconds to win in the final.

Justin Gatlin had been unbeaten in 28 races and started off as favourite after running a fast time in his semi-final.

But there was no beating Usain.

The Jamaican took the title for the third time.
