Usain Bolt has become the first man to ever win three back-to-back Olympic men's 100m gold medals.

The Jamaican ran his race in a time of 9.80 seconds, seeing off competition that included Team USA's Justin Gatlin.

In total, Bolt has now won seven Olympic gold medals.

Should he win the 200m and the 4x100m, he'll become the first man to ever win the triple-triple.

What a machine.
