“My team came through for me tonight”, Bolt said.
And while he celebrated the victory, expressed disappointment about the time at not being able to crack his own World record of 19.19 set in Berlin seven years ago.
“There you have it, I am now the greatest”, he explained. I always try to push my country on top and be the best. “I may have Jamaican blood, but I was brought up in Japan and trained in Japan”. Puma will continue to sponsor the Jamaican sprinter even after he retires.
Bolt has now made a sweep of three sprint titles for a third straight Olympic Games which began in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I ran my last Olympic run, thanks..
“It’s the highest level of competition. It’s come true”, Bolt said.
Now, though, many are convinced that Bolt will go for a “triple-quadruple” in Tokyo in 2020. “So, I’m happy. I have relief it’s over”. “I have to create a new bucket list”. The greatest track and field athlete of all time.
On whether his reputation would be tarnished if the Nesta Carter also of Jamaica drug retest was positive: “I don’t think my legacy would be tarnished”.
“I want to stay in the sport, I want to stay around the sport”, he said. What are you going to do? “I have no control over that”. “Well, I don’t know”. My coach will decide. Maybe never. Or, as Eaton said, maybe, just maybe. “So I guess that’s it”.
“He’s trying to get everyone to love because. he has gotten a lot of love”.
He was pleased with the ambassadorial role he has played for Jamaica over the years.
“I will be up very late and having fun”. They faced each other Saturday in the gold medal match, and Lee – the world’s No. 1 player – won again. While many fans are still stunned by the record-making feat, there is one person that never once doubted his ability to get the unprecedented “treble” – his girlfriend, Kasi Bennett.
On his Olympic retirement: I knew it was going to be done.
But one woman, who was stood just a yard from the fastest man on the planet, did not look too fussed about being in a photo with Bolt. “We are focused only on playing well and winning this gold medal”. “I’m going to miss the crowds”.
It was the ideal way for the sport’s biggest star to leave its biggest stage. I’ve accomplished so much. “We did two (or) one”.
The disqualification came after the US exchanged illegally outside the zone at the first change.
Japan won the silver medal, finishing.33 seconds behind. “By the time he was three months old, he was pushing”.

“Lightning Bolt” showed no signs of slowing down – instead he got faster. My dad was Jamaican.
