London: Jamaica’s Usain Bolt has become the fastest man on the earth after winning 100m men’s race in the London Olympics 2012.
The fastest athlete has covered the distance in 9.63 seconds breaking the Olympic record. The athlete failed to break the world record with a minor difference as the world record is of 9.58 seconds.
The Silver medal of the event was also won by the Jamaica’s Yohan Blake with covering the distance in 9.75 seconds followed by United States athlete Justin Galtin covering the distance in 9.79 seconds and winning Bronze medal.
The first seven men all broke 10 seconds, but the chances of all eight doing so for the first time ever were ruined when the unfortunate Asafa Powell, the third Jamaican in the final, suffered an injury shortly before the line and limped home in 11.99.
Bolt said he knew from his run in the heats he was in the right kind of form to win the title.
‘I was happy,’ he told BBC1. ‘When I went out in the first round I felt I could do this.
‘I was slightly worried about my start, I didn’t want to false start again.
‘I think I sat in the blocks a little bit so I don’t think it’s the best reaction in the world, but I executed and that was the key.
‘My coach said, “stop worrying about the start, the best part of your race is at the end, that’s where you rule”.
