"Run Time"...?[edit]
What's this "Run Time" column in the table of finalists (yes, I "get" that it's "overall time" minus "reaction time". I mean, "what's the point of it"?)?
It smacks of a rather ham-fisted attempt to "prove" that the (Hero) Usain Bolt "actually won", not the (Villain) Justin Gatlin, which I guess many consider to be the "wrong" result. A touch of the "Jeremy Corbyns" going on, I think.... 81.99.236.225 (talk) 12:12, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

There was still a paragraph in the summary showing times of the runners if there had been no wind and with the reaction times taken off. I've never seen that on any Wikipedia page before. As said above, as much as Gatlin should never have been allowed on a track again, he sadly was and he won. So the ham fisted effort to make Bolt look better is pointless Cls14 (talk) 18:39, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
