NOBODY LIKE BOLT Usain Bolt completes his second hat-trick of consecutive Olympic 100, 200 and 4x100, remaining the best sprinter in the world, a phenomenon unique and unattainable at the time, perhaps approachable by what appears to be her "dolphin", Yohan Blake, who with the gold of this relay team finally savored the taste of victory after two second places in the sight of his friend and rival.
