The Jamaican cemented his place in Olympic history as he wrapped up his dream "Triple-Triple" in Brazil at Rio 2016 on Friday, winning all three sprint titles at three consecutive Games.
"What else can I do to prove to the world I am the greatest?" Bolt said after his 200-meter final win in Brazil. "I am trying to be one of the greatest. Be among Muhammad Ali and Pele. I hope after these Games I will be in that bracket."
Following the relay, he repeated to the TV cameras: "I'm No. 1."
Bolt's likely final Olympic race came just two days before his 30th birthday. It's not mid-life crisis time, but a transition into a new decade is a good time for reflection -- even for us mere mortals
