Usain Bolt clocked 19.78 ahead of Canadian Andre De Grasse (20.02, silver) and Christophe Lemaitre of France takes the bronze in 20.12. American LaShawn Merrit finished sixth in 20.19.


Usain Bolt became the first athlete to win gold in both the Men’s 100m and 200m at three consecutive Olympic Games, which now makes him an 8-time Olympic gold medalist.

Bolt, who will be celebrating his 30th birthday on August 21, the final day of the Rio 2016 Olympics, won gold in 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic Games.

The 29-year-old legend is well on his way to complete an unprecedented ‘triple-triple’ at the Rio 2016 Olympics, winning gold in the Men’s 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at three consecutive Olympic Games.
