The only one who can challenge Bolt is Justin Gatlin but as far as I think, it is a question of whether the Jamaican will win or not.
Usain Bolt has already won gold in the 100m event and he looked exceptionally good in the Round 1 of the 200m as well. There he is, getting ready. I sometimes wonder how it must feel to be his opponent, especially when you know you are competing for second or third place. Well, mostly.
We are around 15 minutes away from the beginning of the men's 200m semi-finals and just to remind you, the finals will be held tomorrow.
For all our Indian viewers who have just joined us, Sportskeeda would like to bring you the good news that wrestler Sakshi Malik has won the country its first medal at 2016 Rio Olympics in the 58 kg freestyle category.
