By winning the 100m event at the Rio Olympics, Usain established a new record as the first athletes to have won three gold medals successively in the world sports jamboree. This comes to add to a long list of records established and broken by the Jamaican sprinter notably the 100m record of 9”69 and the 200m record of 19”30 established in Beijing in 2008.
