Usain Bolt needed about 10 strides of the 200 meter finals in Rio to make up the stagger, and from there on in he ran away from the field to win his third straight gold medal in that event.
Bolt celebrated with LeBron James’ signature move — The Silencer.
The Salsa, The Silencer, and a Selfie.

LeBron was watching that historic performance from Bolt at home, but he could have seen it in person had he decided to play in Rio.
Later, Bolt did break out his signature “To Di World” pose.
