Crossing the line in an Olympic record of 9.63sec, the 25-year-old became the first man to defend an Olympic sprint title since Carl Lewis in 1988. Legend? Job done. What did Bolt have to say to the doubters? "I have nothing to say," said the two-times Olympic champion. "I said it on the track. All they can do is talk. I said when it comes to the championships it's all about me." Did he ever doubt his own ability? "I was slightly worried about my start, so I sat in the blocks a bit, but I executed and that was the key. My coach said, 'Stop worrying about your start, your best race is at the end.'"
