Usain Bolt - I'm now a legend

After making history on Thursday night by defending his Olympic 200 metres crown, making it an unprecedented second successive sprint double, Usain Bolt likened himself to a legend.
Bolt, who retained his 100m title in style on Saturday, crossed the line in 19.32sec — the equal fourth fastest time of all time — in front of a delirious sell-out 80,000 crowd at the Olympic Stadium.
The 25-year-old’s victory meant he bettered the record of US track legend Carl Lewis, who won three golds and a silver in the sprints at the 1984 and 1988 Games.
Bolt said: “This is the one I wanted and I got it. I’m now a legend, I’m also the greatest athlete to live.
“I’ve got nothing left to prove. I’ve showed the world I’m the best and, right now, I just want to enjoy myself.”

Well said.
Carl should think that someday Usain Bolts record will also be broken and that will never demean your or Bolts Status as one of the greatest atheletes.
