Usain Bolt is the Michael Phelps of the land, which means he can run as fast as a fish. Wait, what? Nevermind. Usain Bolt has done it again, winning his 8th gold medal and once again in a dominating fashion. To put this into perspective, only five sprinters have won gold medals in both the 100m and 200m races. Bolt has done it three times. Three. That’s why he’s smiling so often.
Only 4 other men have achieved the 100/200 Olympic double…Bolt has now done in three times…unreal.

Of course, he wanted to run faster…
“I felt good,” he told NBC. “But when I came into the straight my body wouldn’t respond to me. I really wanted to run faster.”
So after he left his competitors in the dust, Bolt then paid tribute to Lebron James, who answered back on social media:

Then things got goofy and educational on Twitter. Now, keep in mind that everything here may be silly, but the flames coming off Bolt’s back are accurate. I’ve heard in Jamaica they don’t measure cars by horsepower, they measure by Boltpower.
The only man who can beat Usain Bolt. Merica.pic.twitter.com/HfyFhL9Efk

Usain’s mom didn’t seem all that impressed. Maybe she was just in the zone, or she couldn’t even comprehend her son’s speed. All possible.
Other people’s moms were certainly into it.

So in the end, we know that multiple GOATS have been solidified this Olympics. Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt are untouchable.
