Sport: Usain Bolt beaten by Justin Gatlin in 100m in Rome

US sprinter Justin Gatlin beat six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt in the men's 100 metres race at the Rome Golden Gala, Diamond League, which took place today. Justin beat Usain by one-hundredth of a second, that's like 1% of a second. Justin actually had to dip his head over the line to win in 9.94 seconds. Usain came in 9.95.

Usain was making his first appearance in the Diamond League this season since his recent recovery from a hamstring injury. Usain explained what happened to him:

"I got the perfect start that I wanted, then about five steps in I stumbled a bit and that kind of threw my game off. My legs didn't feel like my legs coming into the straight. I guess I need to do more strength work. I think I just need time to get it back together but the fact I got a good start threw me off. At least I got under 10 seconds.

"It is always a good thing to lose. You can figure how to step it up. I knew I wasn't in great shape but I'm not worried. It takes time to get back into shape and I didn't expect much from this race."

Usain's next race will be in the men's 200m in next Thursday's Diamond League meeting in Oslo.

The 10 Worst Movies to Watch on a First Date

You’re on your first date, things are already a little uncomfortable and awkward, so what’s worse than watching a movie that only makes the awkwardness stand out more? Movies are supposed to be the easy out in easing the tension between the two of you, allowing you to have some quiet time, get close and snuggle up… not make you want to head for the hills from embarrassment of what pops up on the TV or how you react to it. I asked my friend Alex Wise - a co-founder of Loveawake dating service and a relationship coach to sent me his a list of movies to avoid when browsing the video store for good date flicks. His advice seemed pretty helpful for singles.
