Jamaican track star Usain Bolt streaked ahead his competition leaving them far behind him to finish the Olympic 100 meter final in emphatic fashion is just 9.69 seconds. It is Jamaica’s first gold medal in this event.

The race billed to be potentially the fastest 100 meters featured Usain Bolt as red hot favorite with fellow Jamaican former world record holder Asafa Powell expecting to get silver in the much vaunted race. As it turned out Bolt crossed the line looking like he had much more to spare, he shut down ten meters from the line seeing he was a clear meter and a half ahead and in fact started his celebrations before he had even crossed the line. Asafa Powell meanwhile finished in fifth place.
