Botswana's athlete, Isaac Makwala had no other option than to make a solo race after being suspended from the initial qualifying race for contracting norovirus.
Makwala was prevented from running in Monday's opening 200 metres heat and Tuesday's 400m final after falling victim to an outbreak of gastroenteritis that also affected about 30 other competitors at the Tower Hotel in London.
