Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin will renew their battle for World Championship gold this afternoon after the pair cruised into today’s 200 metres final (1.55pm Irish time, live on BBC2).

The United States dominated the final day of the athletics World Championships with three more victories matching the team’s haul of 14 gold medals two years ago in Helsinki.

Asafa Powell indicated he will be the man to beat at next month’s World Championships after storming to victory over 100 metres at the IAAF Golden League meeting in Rome.
