USAIN BOLT did the salsa when he was introduced to the crowd at the Rio Olympics last night. The Jamaican superstar then danced his way to victory in the men’s 200 metres final.

The 29-year-old Bolt further cemented his legacy by completing his third successive sprint double at the Olympics.

No one offered a hint of a challenge to Bolt who swept to victory in a time of 19.78 seconds, finishing well clear of second placed Andre de Grasse of Canada.
