Without a doubt Usain Bolt is incredibly all time achiever as he won the men’s 200m to claim his second gold medal at Rio 2016, his eighth at an Olympics, and keep alive his hopes of a ‘treble treble’.The Jamaican ran 19.78 seconds to come home ahead of Canada’s Andre de Grasse and France’s Christophe Lemaitre.
Bolt, 29, has already won the 100m in Rio and will join his compatriots for the 4x100m relay final on Saturday.
He also claimed gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at both Beijing 2008 and London 2012.
Bolt, who said in February he would retire after the 2017 World Championships, has won all eight of the Olympic finals in which he has appeared.
Britain’s Adam Gemili clocked the same time as Lemaitre, but was denied his first Olympic medal in a photo finish.
“The fact I came here and executed what I wanted to is a brilliant feeling,” he told BBC Sport.
“I wasn’t happy with the time when I crossed the line. But I’m excited I got the gold medal – that’s the key thing.”
Bolt believed he could break his world record of 19.19 and even go under 19 seconds in Rio’s Olympic Stadium.

So the slow time – by his standards at least – left the Jamaican gesticulating angrily as he crossed the line over two tenths of a second ahead of De Grasse.
But Bolt quickly broke into a beaming smile, celebrating with a trademark ‘Lightning Bolt’ as thousands of fans chanted his name.

”I didn’t feel any extra pressure because I don’t pay attention to the media before races. I just focus on what I need to do. I came out here and I get the job done.” – Usain Bolt said to BBC while grapsing his breath shortly after his heroic win.

How he will be missed.
Churandy Martina finishes fourth in a time of 20.13. Superb from him and Gemili. Very disappointing for Merritt.

just before the wild run, Yohan aka Beast showed off:
Bolt is introduced to the crowd. As his name is read out he does what can only be described as a little cha-cha. It’s not quite Yohan Blake’s ‘The Beast’ routine, but it’ll do.
