Rio Olympics: Usain Bolt Retains His 100m Gold Medal

Usain Bolt claimed a record third 100m title
while tennis player Andy Murray won Britain's

overseas Olympics.
A 15th gold of the Games, putting GB second in
the table, followed gymnast Max Whitlock's
historic double win and Justin Rose's golf
victory.
Cyclist Jason Kenny defeated team-mate Callum
Skinner for his fifth title.
Bolt, 29, ran 9.81 seconds to beat Justin Gatlin
to gold and follow up his titles at Beijing 2008
and London 2012.
The Jamaican remains on course for the sprint
'treble treble', with the 200m and the 4x100m
relay to come.
"I expected to go faster, but I'm happy I won," he
said. "I did what I had to."
South African Wayde van Niekerk broke Michael
Johnson's 17-year-old world record by 0.15secs
to win 400m gold in 43.03. The mark stood for
6,198 days.
Wimbledon champion Murray, 29, retained his
Olympic title with an epic four-set win over
Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro.
