It wasn’t the world record he said he was trying to set, but it was an eighth gold medal in his final individual event.

China came into the Olympics as the No. 3-ranked team in the world, but was upset by this Netherlands team in the first preliminary match and wound up with only seven points in five prelim matches and the No. 4 seed coming out of Pool B.

“It’s just an incredible feeling really, Alistair said. I’m looking forward to the competition in the final”. The feat may have garnered more attention if he weren’t sharing the stage with Bolt.

It was a lost medal opportunity for the Americans, for sure. The speedy Jamaican will run for his second gold medal in Rio in the men’s 200 meters Thursday night (8:30 p.m. CST).

Decathlete Ashton Eaton is a candidate to add to that haul.
