Usain Bolt of Jamaica has retained his Olympic 100m
title in a hotly contested race which saw seven men
finished the race in less than 10 secs.
Bolt, though has a poor reaction to the gun set an
Olympic record of 9.63 sec at the London Olympic to
win the highly anticipated race.
"I was slightly worried about my start. I didn't want to
false start again, so I sat in the blocks a little bit…It
wasn't the best reaction in the world but I executed it
and that was the key. My coach said 'stop worryingabout the start because the best part of your race is
the end'. It worked." Bolt said after the race.
His country's man Yohann Blake who beat Bolt in the
Jamaica's Olympic trials came second with 9.75secs,
his personal best, while American's Justin Gatlin ran
9.79 secs to settle for the bronze medal.
Similarly Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica won
the 100m gold in 10.75 in the women race to become
the third woman to win 100-meter gold in consecutive
Olympics.
Congratulations to Usain and Fraser-Pryce for
defending their Olympic gold medals.
Bolt is the fastest man in the world till date and also the teacher of future generation. Just like Nadal in tennis who has his own technique and physique, Bolt is the same in 100 and 200 metres. Earlier, well-built, mid-gut athletes were world beaters. Bolt proved that well-built tall athletes also will rule the world in shorter distance. Now, future generation will follow in Bolt's footsteps and definitely prove me right. And one day, maybe after ten or fifteen years, Bolt's world record will be broken and the credit will go to Bolt.
