Bolt wins the marquee 100m Olympic finals in 9.63s and defends his Olympic title. He looks forward to winning 2 more gold medals (200m and 4x100m relay) which he is favored to do. What's amazing is that 7 people ran sub 10s. It would have been 8 if Asafa Powell didn't pull out (he ran the most sub 10s times races in history, 87 times!). The field was stacked with multiple WR holders and top contenders.
I remember watching Canadian Donovan Bailey break the back-then WR with a run of 9.84s at the Atlanta Games in 1996. I was in high school and part of the track & field team so it was something that I remember clearly. That time would place him 5th in today's race! Insane how people are getting faster and faster.
