Rio 2016: Usain Bolt Makes History by Nailing Triple Triple

He said he will and he did. Bolt on Friday night put the whole world on stand still as he immortalizes himself by wining the Rio 2016 4*100meters relay . His victory made him come through to his claim of winning the 4*100m relay three times in a roll AKA " Triple Triple "

Winner the triple triple, he didn't  just prove to the world that he is a great athlete but one with an excellent breed of Olympic material. Speaking with BBC on his feeling on winning the triple triple he referred to himself as the greatest . He said. "There you go, i'm the greatest...It's a brilliant feeling. I've pushed myself, it's been a long road. I'm happy but I'm relieved. It's great to be in the history books as one of the greatest. I'm proud of myself."

Rio 2016 would be Bolt's last Olympic as he has made his intentions known to retire after the 2017 World Championship. Bolt has made a history that will take decades to be achieved or rewritten by any other athlete.

Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade finished in 37.27 seconds. Japan won the silver by 37:60 however with the disqualification of USA Canada won the bronze by 37:64
