Jamaica‘s Usain Bolt continued to show he’s the fastest man on the planet Sunday night winning the men’s 100 meter final at the Rio Olympics overcoming his American rival Justin Gatlin.
Bolt’s win marks the first time in the events history that a sprinter took home the gold in three straight Olympics. Bolt first made his mark in 2008 in Beijing and did it once again in London in 2012.

However Bolt’s hamstring injury heading into Rio which kept him from participating in Jamaica’s qualifying sessions may have lead to some critics and doubt as to whether or not the face of the sport could retain his throne.
The only question that remains now is where does Bolt rank when it comes to the greatest Olympians of all-time?
