Bolt’s record in Olympic finals is nine races, nine wins. He owns the world records for all three events. It’s a relief. Having all this pressure to continue coming to the Olympics and achieve gold medals back to back all the time is a lot of pressure.

Both 4x400m relay teams are safely through to today’s finals and will look to add to that after strong wins in their respective heats.
Usain Bolt won his ninth Olympic Games gold medal as he anchored Jamaica to victory in the men’s 4x100m relay in Rio.
He combined with Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade to lift gold in a time of 37.27 seconds.Bolt signed off with a statement which represents his wonderful personality. When his press conference ended late night on Saturday, the indefatigable Bolt, in his usual nonchalant style, went into the dark Olympic stadium at 1.40am when only a few volunteers were around. With hundreds of hours of coverage for the games, many viewers are turning to the internet to learn more about the supportive girlfriends, wives, boyfriends, and husbands of the Olympic athletes they see on television.
But it’s been a great career, I’ve done all I can do.
Fans jump for joy as Bolt crosses the finish line to win his third consecutive gold medal in the men’s Olympic 200m final.
Again on Friday, former world record holder Asafa Powell, Bolt ‘s training partner Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade gave the double sprint world record holder the lead at the final exchange, albeit an extremely slim one. As I said before, I have no respect for girls/women like you who do this to anyone regardless who they are. Next year’s World Championships in London, where he will run the 100m and 4x100m, will be his last major worldwide outing.
“[He’s always saying] “wait until it’s your time” and I know my time is going to come so I’m going to take over from now”.
“I was just watching them and praying that they didn’t mess up”, said Bolt, about the Jamaican teammates during the relay.
“I just have mixed feelings now”, he told reporters. I’m going to miss all that. In an interview with Ian Boyne in January, Bolt said he was a bit nervous about putting Kasi Bennett through the scrutiny he knew would come from dating one of the world’s most famous athletes.

Usain Bolt stirred up controversy after a 20-year-old Rio student named Jady Duarte reportedly shared photos of herself in bed with the Jamaican sprinter. “That’s just self-explanatory. Words can’t describe that type of a guy and what he’s done for the sport”.
