Bolt gets closer to dreaded Olympic farewell

Rio de Janeiro

THE Olympics is going to miss the Lightning Bolt pose that has lit up the last three Games at a time when athletics desperately needs a hero.

When Usain Bolt crosses the finish line and starts pounding his chest, it resonates with the public around the world. After his 100m triumph in Rio on Sunday, there are just two more chances for Olympic fans to take it in, the 200m and relay finale.
