Yeah I saw that! Couldn't find mention of it on Twitter as it's updating so fast but there's a Youtube video of it.

Makes the security guy at the back jump!

Apparently the person involved was dealt with...

Did anyone else see something (a bottle?) get thrown on to the track just before they started?

What an absolute moron and embarrassment. He should never drink again if that's what booze does for him.

Woah, you paid £725 for that seat...? Thought you'd have been right next to it... or are they all AA seats?

Greatest 9.63 second gif ever.

its an olympic final mate. for a good seat you are looking at around 3k minimum

Skeeter · 6 Aug 2012 at 09:56

AA seats for the 100m final were £2012, weren't they?

He's been well off form for the past 3 GP seasons

What an idiot whoever threw that bottle! In other news, everyone who was doubting Bolt just been put in their place!

Russinating · 6 Aug 2012 at 11:41

I wonder, would Bolt have a chance at a medal in the 400m?

It's a different kind of ball game isn't it? He's like a gun (bang!!) whilst a 400m run is more burst, steady till the last 200m-ish...

A chance maybe but it's somewhat more tactical than either the 100m or 200m, it somewhat obviously requires greater stamina which he probably hasn't trained for and it's quite difficult to manage a spread of distances like that. Michael Johnson managed the 200m/400m double but he was an exceptional athlete and trained exclusively for it.
