This for you my people
This brings Bolt’s haul of Olympic gold medals to seven.
Watch the video below:
Speaking to reporters after the race, Bolt said he was confident of winning two more medals.
“After the semi-finals I felt extremely good but we did not have a long turnaround time after the semi-final so it was challenging. The triple treble is on without a doubt.
“Somebody said I can become immortal. Two more medals to go and I can sign off. Immortal.”
