闪电博尔特“双卫冕” 赛场自拍辉煌瞬间

Usain Bolt showed why he's sports finest showman as well as the world's greatest ever athlete by capturing his own Kodak moments with a borrowed press photographer's camera shortly after sprinting to victory in tonight's 200m final.

After he crossed the finishing line first ahead of compatriots Yohan Blake and Warren Weir, the 25-year-old Jamaican celebrated by dancing and skipping around the Olympic Stadium, as the 80,000-strong crowd rewarded him with a standing ovation.

Victorious, Bolt dropped to the track and performed press-ups, before borrowing a photographer camera to take souvenir snapshots of the occasion.

Bolt approached photographer Jimmy Wixtr, who was covering the historic 200m final at the Olympics for Swedish paper Aftonbladet, who offered his camera to the athlete to take some of his own photos of the momentous occasion.

Mr Wixtr said: 'I had been asking him for several days if we could take a picture before the race. Yesterday, he promised me that we could take a picture of him afterwards.

'I wore the same hat I had been wearing all week so he would recognize me and called him over after he finished the race and asked him to take some photos.

'As a photographer, he is pretty good. He is charming and took several pictures of Blake while he joked.'

He added that Bolt has used his camera twice before - in Daegu and in Rome, when Bolt took pictures of himself during a workout.

Mr Wixtr admitted that Bolt has referred to him as his stalker, adding: 'He said it yesterday, but it was with a wink and a smile. He is never angry and I am quite calm and collected.'

After his quick session as a photographer, Bolt then went on to reward his fans with his famous lightning bolt pose.

Bolt's victory makes him the first man to have won both the 100m and 200m at two successive Olympics.
