He came and he won. It was inevitable, everyone of us knew that Usain Bolt is going to win the 100m sprint. But still, majority of us woke up early in the morning and some of us stayed awake all night just to watch the fastest man in the galaxy sprint towards his gold medal in 9.80 seconds.
Twitter got into action as soon as Bolt won the gold. Here are some of the best reactions.
Jamaica Stand Up!!!
