The 25-year-old crossed the finish line wagging his right index figure, and did a victory lap in which he gave high-fives to fans in stands chanting "Usain! Usain!"; he even did a somersault!

The 6-foot-5 champ set world records in Beijing, winning gold medals in the 100, 200 and 4×100 relay. At Sunday's race, he bested Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake, who won the silver at 9.75 seconds, and American Justin Gaitlin, who won the bronze with 9.79 seconds.
