This week saw Usain Bolt put all his doubters to rest as he claimed three gold medals at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing.
The Jamaican sprinter entered the championships with question marks over his ability to compete at the top level as he hasn't ran much in the last year through injury. Coming into the games all the talk was whether he would be able to keep pace with American sprinter Justin Gatlin.
Oh ye of little faith! The charasmatic sprinter claimed gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m races. Here he is winning the 200m.

After the race, as he was doing his lap of honour, Bolt was knocked over by a photographer on a segway but the fan favourite took it all in his stride and laughed it off later accepting an apology from the photographer.
