Usain Bolt expected an easier race to the men’s 100-meter title than in years past.
Why? The Jamaican said he’s in far better shape than he was a year ago, when his races were “pretty much a dog fight.”

Bolt won his third consecutive gold medal in the 100 meters on Sunday night and already has his sights set on the 200-meters and possibly a new world record. He said he’s far more confident about the 200 than he is the 100, and having a day of rest this week will make him fresh for his next event.
Bolt reiterated that these Olympics are for one purpose: For him to prove he’s the greatest sprinter ever.
