DOHA: The first world athletics championships in 16 years without Usain Bolt in the starting blocks get underway on Friday with the sport searching for someone to step into the starring role left vacant by the charismatic Jamaican sprinter.
None of these things will help Lyles win the 200m on Tuesday but they attract interest, particularly from the casual fan. In-between there were 11 golds mined from Berlin, Daegu, Moscow and Beijing, along with eight golds from three Olympics. Before Bolt's playful winning poses were mimicked around world, the Jamaican exploded into the spotlight smashing both the 100m and 200m world records which he still owns.
