Usain Bolt did not disappoint this morning when he took gold in the men's 100m final.

Not only is Bolt incredible at what he does, but he's won over fans from all around the world for the style in which he does it.

From dancing on the start line to his trademark poses, he's famous for more than just running.

After winning in 9.81 seconds, we take a look at 9.81 photos which best sum up his time in Rio so far.

Dancing on the start line

Most people on the start line of the 100m final would be trying to focus on what's ahead.

Bolt brushed his shoulders and, once again, posed for the camera.

Bolt comes in last place... to get ready

He's not always first - at least not when it comes to getting into position.

Beating the best of the rest

From a metre behind to a metre in front of Justin Gatlin, Bolt's long stride lead him to the win.

It was only in the last couple of metres, though, that we saw his right fist approach his chest in his trademark move as he crossed the finish line.
