OLYMPICS : USAIN BOLT - - ' I AM THE GREATEST ! '

Lightning Man Usain Bolt has now done the unthinkable: the Olympic triple-triple. In case you haven't heard of this word before, well, it really didn't exist before. Until now. Triple-triple, as the media puts it, means 3 successive Olympic Gold Medals, in 3 Olympic events, at 3 different Olympic Games! Usain Bolt is the first man in history to achieve this. He had won all Olympic Gold Medals in the 100 Meter sprint, 200 Meter Sprint, and the 4x100 Meter Relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2012 London Olympics, and now at the 2016 Rio Olympics. 'I am the greatest!' declared Bolt after his historic triumph, echoing the immortal lines of another 'greatest' - Muhammad Ali. Bolt's spectacular career now comes to a curtain call, as he announced this was his last race. Usain Bolt in sports immortality? Sounds like it.

The greatest of all time? Where does #UsainBolt rate compared to Muhammad Ali and Pele? https://t.co/SKTke4fY9t pic.twitter.com/bsFuwsiN97
