People in Jamaica are very happy. Usain Bolt won his second Olympic gold medal. It was in the men’s 100 metre final. He did it 4 years ago and now he did again.

The Jamaican sprinter set an Olympic record of 9.63 seconds. It is the second fastest time in history. The best time in history is 9.58 seconds.

The final was with little drama. One man threw a bottle at Bolt. The bottle didn’t hit him. Police took the man to the police station.

Interesting words: set (made), threw (sent something to the air with a hand).
