Usain Bolt of Jamaica won the men's 100 metres Olympic title in Beijing on Saturday in a new world record time of 9.69 seconds.

The 21-year-old, who becomes the first Jamaican to win the Olympic 100m crown, beat home Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago (9.89secs) while Walter Dix of the United States was third in a time of 9.91 secs.

Bolt's compatriot and former world record holder Asafa Powell came fifth as six of the eight finalists finished under 10 seconds, a record for the Olympic final, which also equaled the 1991 world final in Tokyo when six men also dipped under the 10 second barrier.
