Destined to be greater than the greatest, he came, he saw and he conquered. Usain Bolt ended his brilliant Olympic career by securing a sweep of the three sprint titles in Rio when Jamaica successfully defended the 4x100 metres relay crown on Friday. Two days before his 30th birthday, Bolt ran the anchor leg as the Jamaicans won in 37.27 seconds to add the relay gold to his 100 metres and 200 metres titles.
This is how people reacted to the triple-triple of the champion at the world’s biggest stage:
What an honour to have witnessed the phenomenal athletic career of #UsainBolt. Congratulations to team Jamaica #4x100m#Gold
