The 25-year-old Jamaican sprinter set an Olympic record of 9.63 seconds which was also the second-fastest time ever, just behind his own 2009 world record of 9.58.

The race was also the fastest in the history of the games, given that seven of the eight competitors finished within the 10-second range.
