DOHA - American Christian Coleman scorched to the 100 meters world championship gold medal on Saturday but the crowning of the world’s fastest man could generate no more buzz than the air conditioning in a half-empty Khalifa Stadium.
“Last time it was a surprise when I won silver, this time there was a lot of pressure but I managed to come out with a gold,” Coleman told reporters. “At the end all my worries evaporated out there. It was crazy feeling.The 37-year-old Gatlin continued to prove he is one of sprinting’s big-time performers, however, grabbing silver in 9.89.
In the blue riband event of the world championships, the sight of thousands of empty seats was surely a troubling one for officials. After the opening two days it is uncertain if even the great Jamaican showman Usain Bolt himself could have pulled in a larger audience which offered only polite applause as Coleman raised his arms in victory.Low attendance and high temperatures have provided early headaches for the 10-day competition.
