London Olympics: 10 Great Track Moments

-
The London Olympics may be over but fans are still savouring the tremendous display put on by the world's greatest athletes. These moments will forever be apart of London's Legacy:

SuperBolt is Back
Dubbed the King-of-Track, Usain Bolt was "THE" face of the London Games. With his face plastered all over the city and his wax figure strategically placed at Heathrow Airport, the world expected a show and Bolt delivered. The tall Jamaican powered his way to the covetous sprint double titles, becoming the only athlete to sweep the 100 and 200 events at back-to-back Olympics. Running the second fastest 100m in history Bolt powered to the line in 9.63 seconds with his training partner Yohan Blake coming in at 9.75 for silver. The longer distance produced the same result, with Bolt again getting the better of  the "Beast" in a thrilling 19.32 seconds, despite easing at the line. His performance in London relegated his early season issues to distant memory and marked his re-ascension to greatness....silencing the critics.
