It appears that Usain Bolt has finally grown tired of being the star in front of thousands of cameras. Thursday night, after he won gold in the men's 200 meter final, he grabbed a camera and started taking pictures. The camera belonged to Jimmy Wixtröm, a photographer at Aftonbladet, Scandinavia's largest newspaper, according to PetaPixel.

    Usain Bolt is simply phenomenal. He runs a good race, even after a year of injury. Then has the energy (and good humour) to pose for the crowd and enjoy his victory in a fun way.

    And it's quite incredible that Jamaica took the top three spots in this 200 metres. Jamaica – population half that of Scotland's, 50 years since Jamaican Independence – beats USA and the rest of the entire world three times over. How incredible is that?
