Time to celebrate for Usain Bolt’s fans as the Jamaican sealed his status as the greatest sprinter of all times after retaining the men's Olympic 100m title with an electrifying display on Sunday.

World record holder, Usain turned on the after-burners at 60m to clock an Olympic record of 9.63sec, the second fastest time in history. "I executed and that was the key," Bolt said. "When it comes to the championships, it's all about business for me and I brought it."

Jamaican compatriot and training partner Yohan Blake, long tipped as Bolt's successor as the fastest man in the world, claimed silver after equaling his personal best of 9.75sec. American 2004 Olympic gold medallist Justin Gatlin completed his remarkable comeback from a four-year doping ban by taking the bronze medal in a personal best of 9.79sec.

2007 double world champion Tyson Gay came in fourth, one hundredth of a second off his teammate Gatlin in 9.80sec, with a third American, Ryan Bailey, fifth in 9.88. It was a remarkable result for the Jamaican who revolutionized sprinting, and indeed athletics, four years ago in Beijing, setting then-world records when winning the 100 and 200m titles.

Heartiest congratulations!
