Meanwhile
organisers have dismissed criticism from
Bolt about his starting blocks for the 100 metres.
The
eight-time Olympic champion blamed the blocks for his poor start in his heat on
Friday night in London. “That was very bad,” he said after winning in 10.07
seconds. “I stumbled a little bit coming out of my blocks. I’m not really a fan
of these blocks. These are the worst blocks I have ever experienced. I have to
get the start together as I can’t keep doing this.” But the International
Association of Athletics Federations insisted there was nothing wrong with the
equipment being used at the London Stadium. A statement from the IAAF read:
“The starting blocks here in London are exactly the same model as were used at
the last World Championships in Beijing.
