“It was surprising”, said Bolt.

The issue came to the fore this weekend when Team USA swimmer Lilly King, who took the gold medal in the 100-meter breaststroke, said she believes in a life-time ban on all dopers.
Using Bolt’s best 200-meter times since he broke the record in 2009, an average of 19.51 seconds, gives him a 0.8 percent chance, or 131-to-1 odds against, at running a sub-19-second 200-meter sprint.
Jamaican sprinter and global athletics icon, Usain Bolt, has declared that in football, he supports Real Madrid – and not Manchester United.
Bolt, who hosted van Niekerk in Kingston two months ago for a week-long training exchange said at the time that he was impressed with the quarter-miler’s speed and was full of praise for his latest achievement. “If I can get a good rest after the semifinals, there’s a possibility”. “This is the Olympics that I have to do it at”.
De Grasse is the first male athlete to win a medal for Canada in these games in Rio, a fact that was becoming much-discussed here in Canada! He’s joyful and relaxed while destroying the rest of the field.
“Usain Bolt will be retiring soon, but this could be the next star of the sport”, Johnson said during his commentary on BBC.
But Bolt isn’t done quite yet.
Brazilian female athletes are shining at the Rio Olympics – and people here are paying attention, some for the first time. “I always wanted to run sub-19 (seconds)”.
In winning with a time of 9.81 seconds, Bolt became the first person to claim gold in the distance in three straight games.
“I didn’t really run that hard. I could tell I was going to catch him”.
All Gatlin would have seen was Bolt charging off to celebrate with the adoring Rio crowd, with the Jamaican’s vibrant personality and easy charm connecting with fans in a way that Gatlin could only dream of.
Bolt, 29, ran 9.81 seconds in his final Olympics to replicate his success at Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
“We’re going to try and get him a print”. In the recent past, 100-meter sprinters have been given more than two hours between semifinals and finals. Justin Gatlin didn’t expect he’d get booed at the Olympic 100-metre final, too. He’s been punished for doping twice. Gatlin claims he didn’t focus on them, but rather looked out at the red, white and blue US flags up in the stands. “So I’d just like to see everyone have respect in the audience as well”.

A split-second after Bolt crossed the line, he raised the index finger, and then the real party began.
