Usain Bolt has once again proved that he is the absolute best sprinter in the world, no questions asked. Bolt snagged his third Olympic gold medal on August 14th, beating out USA sprinter Justin Gatlin who came in at an impressive second place.

Bolt was not the fastest off the blocks, but that didn't stop him from cruising into a comfortable lead and looking back at the competition, and clocking in a win at 9.81 seconds. After crossing the finish line, he raised his arm in classic Bolt fashion and was showered with chants of his name.

Yohan Blake, a Jamaican sprinter who finished fourth, was blown away at Bolt's almost godly abilities:

He's a legend. He's amongst the greats, like Muhammad Ali. He's just incredible. As you can see tonight, for 12 years, doing this and getting three gold medals. It's incredible.

Usain Bolt is hands down the best in the world right now, but even he is still not satisfied with what he's accomplished so far. According to USA Today, Bolt is set on becoming "immortal" and is dedicated to proving it in the 200 and 4x100 relay:

Two more medals to go and I can sign off. Immortal.

Either way, Bolt has outdone himself already by snagging yet another gold. More would simply be icing on the cake.
