Bolt became the first athlete to win the 100 and the 200 meters races in two consecutive Olympic games.

After winning the competition, the Jamaican sprinter said, “I'm now a living legend, I'm also the greatest athlete to live. To all the people who doubted me, who thought I would lose here, you can stop talking now. I am a living legend.”

Last week, the 25-year-old Bolt won the 100 meters final in a record-winning run of 9.63 seconds, making him the fastest man in the world.

“Ali was the greatest in his sport, Jordan the greatest in his, and I am the greatest in mine, so I guess I am at that level,” Bolt said.

While Bolt forced Blake to settle for silver again, the 22-year-old said, "This is my first Olympics...I can't complain."
