They say lightning never strikes twice, but Usain Bolt has claimed the
title of fastest man in the world three times in a row beating American
Justin Gatlin to win his third successive gold medal in the 100m final
race on Sunday night, running the track in 9.81 seconds at the Rio 2016
Olympics. More photos after the cut...
After the race on Sunday, Usain Bolt said:
'Somebody said I can become immortal'. 'Two more medals to go and I can
sign off. Immortal.' He added 'I came to these Olympics to win three
golds and prove I am one of the greats,' he said, 'If I fail I will
feel sad and I will not feel accomplished.'
Bolt, who hopes to break the world record in the 200m on Thursday - his
favorite event - added that he would be disappointed if he did not
complete the 'triple triple'.
Congratulations to him!
