How the world's top ten fell in the 100m

The 100m will be remembered for the disqualification of Usain Bolt and even if it wasn't for the reigning champion jumping the gun, this final would have probably been an anti-climax given the absence of many of Bolt's leading rivals.

Only three of the world's top eleven made the final and none of them claimed a medal in the final.

1	Asafa Powell	9.78	Pulled out injured with a groin injury. Daegu was considered the perfect chance to break his major champs duck.
