Usain Bolt smashed the world record as he decimated his rivals to claim 100 metres Olympic Gold in Beijing.

Usain Bolt of Jamaica smashed his own record in the 100 meters despite slowing up to celebrate the gold medal he won in the process on Saturday.

He shaved three hundredths of a second of his own world record in a blistering time of 9.69 seconds and looks capable of going even quicker.

The Jamaican was so much in control of the race he found the time to celebrate before crossing the line in front of a packed Bird’s Nest.

Said Bolt:

“I want to say, I came here to prove I am the best.

“I have trained for years for this and prepared for this.

“I’m just happy, I came here to prove that I’m the best in the world and I did that.

“I came here with a plan and I executed it.

“I don’t really know what happened. I even could be 9.60.

“As soon as I saw I had covered the field and I knew I would win, I was very happy and I started to celebrate.

“I wasn’t worried about the time. I just came here to win.”
