Usain Bolt looked to his left just before breaking through the tape to win the men’s 200-meter at the 2012 Olympic Games, checking to make sure he finished ahead of his teammate, Yohan Blake. He did, and became the first man to win both 100 and 200 meter gold in back-to-back Olympics.
Jamaicans swept the final, winning all three medals. Blake took silver, and Weir Warren the bronze.
American sprinter Wallace Spearmon finished fourth, just behind the leaders.
