Usain Bolt once again took Olympic men's 100m gold, his third consecutive success in the event, cementing his legacy, as if it needed any further cementing, as the greatest sprinter of all time. However, the Jamaican icon was keen to share the limelight with another sporting icon in the aftermath of his historic achievement.
Bolt was quizzed by members of the world media after securing his seventh Olympic gold medal and one question in particular drew an animated response.
A journalist from Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet asked Bolt about his beloved Manchester United and, in particular, new arrival Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Bolt wasted no time in sharing his admiration for the United number nine, who scored on his Premier League debut during the Red Devils' 3-1 victory over Bournemouth, yesterday.

"He has now got two goals in two games. That's a great thing and I'm very happy.
"Zlatan is the greatest!"

It's like Waka Flocka said, real recognise real. Or something like that.
