Usain Bolt of Jamaica has retained his Olympic 100m
title in a hotly contested race which saw seven men
finished the race in less than 10 secs.

Bolt, though has a poor reaction to the gun set an
Olympic record of 9.63 sec at the London Olympic to
win the highly anticipated race.

“I was slightly worried about my start. I didn’t want to
false start again, so I sat in the blocks a little bit…It
wasn’t the best reaction in the world but I executed it
and that was the key. My coach said ‘stop worrying
about the start because the best part of your race is
the end’. It worked.” Bolt said after the race.

His country’s man Yohann Blake who beat Bolt in the
Jamaica’s Olympic trials came second with 9.75secs,
his personal best, while American’s Justin Gatlin ran
9.79 secs to settle for the bronze medal.

Similarly Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica won
the 100m gold in 10.75 in the women race to become
the third woman to win 100-meter gold in consecutive
Olympics.

Congratulations to Usain and Fraser-Pryce for
defending their Olympic gold medals.
