From Beijing 2008 to Rio 2016, Bolt won the gold medal at the time of the event in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay, a unique treble that no one has ever done before. However, he was stripped of the 4x100 gold from Beijing, after teammate Nesta Carter's sample tested positive for a banned substance nine years later.

What could have been a 'triple-triple', can now be called a 'triple-double' and even after taking away one of the golds, Bolt remains the only sprinter to win three consecutive Olympic golds in the 100m and 200m events.
