Pictures of the Decade : Usain Bolt of Jamaica celebrates winning men's 200m final

Usain Bolt of Jamaica celebrates winning men's 200m final at Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. When Jamaican Usain Bolt blazed to glory at the Beijing Olympics, he was feted as the hero his tainted sport had been crying out for. He took a new world record in the 100 meters with a speed of 9.69 seconds and in the 200 meters with 19.30. But it was not just his speed but his personality that brought a breath of fresh air to drug-marred athletics, with the smiling, fun-loving athlete playing up to the crowds by dancing on the track after his wins and happily signing autographs.
