Usain Bolt turns 30 on Sunday, and there’s no question the third decade of his life will be very difficult to repeat.

Bolt won his ninth gold medal on Friday night, the “triple treble” as he calls it: winning gold in three-straight Olympics in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m.

He didn’t consider Friday night an evening for humility, saying, “There you go, I am the greatest.” He also reiterated that his Olympic career is over, and admitted there’s an exhalation in producing the wins many saw coming.
