Man hurled bottle at Bolt on race start line, court told

A man screamed abuse at Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt before hurling a bottle at the start line of the men’s Olympic 100m final, a court was told.

Ashley Gill-Webb, 34, pushed his way to the front of an exclusive seating area without a ticket and shouted things like: “Usain you are bad, you are an arsehole,” the court heard.

He then threw the beer bottle as the race — which Bolt went on to win — started at the Olympic Stadium on Aug 5.
