The world stopped and watched Usain Bolt on Sunday night for less than 10 seconds. But it was more than enough time to see the Jamaican sprinter win his third-straight gold medal in the 100-meter dash. It is the first time a runner has won the event at three Olympic Games in a row. Bolt was not the fastest out of the starting blocks. But he crossed the finish line ahead of American Justin Gatlin. He ran the race in 9.81 seconds. Next, Bolt will try to win three gold medals in three straight Olympics in the 200-meter race. First he must qualify for the final with a good time on Tuesday morning in Rio de Janeiro. The 200-meter final is on Thursday night. Bolt said he will try to break his own 200-meter world record. “I'm going to go out there and leave it all on the track,” he said. Bolt dedicated his victory Sunday to the people of Jamaica.
