The men's 100 metres at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 22 and 23 August.[1][2]

For only the second time in the World Athletics Championships, the winning margin in the men's 100 metres was 0.01 seconds. The first time this happened was in 2003.

Summary

[edit]

Justin Gatlin had the world leading time in 2015. Gatlin ran 9.83 s in the heats and 9.77 s in the semi-final. Reigning champion Usain Bolt ran times of 9.96 s in both rounds. Jimmy Vicaut and Su Bingtian qualified for the final with tied fastest loser times of 9.986 s, so there were 9 competitors in the final.

In the final, Bolt finished one hundredth of a second ahead of Gatlin in a time of 9.79 s.[3] There was a tie for third place, with Andre De Grasse and Trayvon Bromell both finishing in 9.911 s, and two bronze medals were awarded.[4]
