When all the “best sports photos ever” galleries are compiled, it’s likely to include this one of Usain Bolt from his gold medal win in the 100 meter final on Sunday night.
The Jamaican runner sprinted to Olympic glory on Sunday, winning his third straight 100 meter gold medal, but it was a brilliant moment from his semi-final run earlier in the evening that will go down in history as the most Usain Bolt photo ever.
As Bolt sped past the other runners on his way to easily winning his semifinal heat, a Getty photographer caught a grinning Bolt giving a quick glance to the runners he was leaving behind.
Taken by photographer Cameron Spencer, it perfectly represents the domination that has made Bolt one of history’s most iconic athletes.
Deciding to pose for a photograph halfway through the race, while the rest of the sprinters strained every vein in their body to find more power, Bolt not only won, but he did so in a comfortable style.
Another photographer Salih Zeki Fazlioglu also captured the pic but from a different angle.
