Lightning Bolt now a true legend of the track

Usain Bolt last night fulfilled his dream of becoming a “legend” of the sport by successfully defending his Olympic 100m title in stunning style in London.

Bolt was only fifth quickest out of the blocks but was soon into his running and stormed to victory in 9.63 seconds, the second quickest in history and an Olympic record.

Only Bolt himself has run quicker with his world record of 9.58secs set in winning the world title in Berlin in 2009.
