LONDON—Usain Bolt wins gold in the men’s 100 metres at the London Games.
Bolt joined Carl Lewis as only the second man to go
back-to-back in track's biggest race. Bolt's training partner and fellow Jamaican, Yohan Blake,
finished second in 9.75. American Justin Gatlin took bronze in 9.79.
Bolt fell shy of his world record of 9.58 seconds but
improved on the 9.69 he ran four years ago in Beijing to enter his name, once
again, in the Olympic record book.
After taking half a victory lap around the track, he
stopped, kissed the track and gave his now-famous "To The World"
pose, pointing both fingers in the air while the fans screamed.
