Olympic gold for Andy Murray as Usain Bolt romps to 100m win

TRIUMPHANT Andy Murray celebrates on Wimbledon’s Centre Court yesterday after clinching Olympic tennis gold for Team GB.

Murray, 25, trounced Roger Federer in another day of Games drama, in which he also took silver in the mixed doubles.

Usain Bolt stormed home in the 100 metres — clocking a lightning 9.63 seconds.

Jamaican Bolt confirmed his place as the Fastest Man on Earth as he blew away his rivals in the most hotly-contested sprint final ever.

His incredible burst of speed off the blocks, backed by the roar of an 80,000-strong Olympic Stadium crowd, silenced his doubters after two shock defeats before the Games.

Bolt is only the second man to claim back-to-back Olympic 100m titles after Carl Lewis.

After his win, the 6ft 5in star delighted fans by donning his national flag like a cape and launching into the crowd to accept hugs and high fives.

He also struck his trademark archer pose and bowed down to kiss the London track.

Asked what he had to say to his doubters, he replied: “I said it on the track. People can talk, all they can do is talk. I brought it.

“I came here to win. I have one foot in the door of becoming a legend.

“I have got the 200m to go and I really want to do something special in that.”

His victory was all the sweeter after defeats in the Jamaican trials during the run-up to London 2012 shattered his aura of invincibility.

The man who beat him, 22-year-old training partner Yohan Blake, was left clutching silver last night in Bolt’s wake.

Bolt hit global fame in Beijing four years ago by beating his chest in triumph. Last night he posed as a DJ spinning records and introduced his new “running man” mime.

Second ... 400m runner Christine Ohuruogu

Meanwhile gutsy Brit Christine Ohuruogu powered through to silver in the 400m — missing out on gold by a whisker to American Sanya Richards-Ross.

Christine, 28, who had been defending her Beijing crown, said: “I came here to continue my reign so I’m disappointed.”
