He’s an absolute machine – and we’re lucky to live in an era to witness his brilliance.
Usain Bolt beat Justin Gatlin by 1/100Â of a second to retain the 100m title at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing.
It was scintillating performance from the Jamaican, as he overcame Gatlin by the smallest of margins to twin the title for a third time…

Bolt was unusually emotional after the victory: “This means a lot because I’ve been struggling all season, it’s taken me a while to work things out. It’s been up and down but it’s okay now.”
Steven Cram, commentating for the BBC, was a little bit more dramatic in his summary…
"He's saved his title, he's saved his reputation, he may have even saved his sport." Fantastic commentary from Steve Cram as Usain Bolt wins
