100m world champion Justin Gatlin failed to earn a spot on the podium at the Diamond League final on Thursday in Zurich.
Great Britain’s Chijindu Ujah won the 100m title in 9.97 seconds, edging Ben Youssef Meite of Cote d’Ivoire and American Ronnie Baker. Ujah collected the Diamond Trophy as well as a $50,000 winner’s check.
Gatlin finished fourth, crossing the line in 10.04 seconds, which was .12 seconds slower than his winning time at worlds in London on Aug. 5.
It was Gatlin’s first individual race since worlds, when he caught countryman Christian Coleman and held off Usain Bolt to win 100m title (VIDEO).
