Usain Bolt basked in the glow of his fifth Olympic gold medal after winning the 200 metres at the London 2012 by taking photographs of spectators.
The Jamaican, having already shown off some press-ups after clocking in at 19.32 seconds, embarked on a lap of honour with fellow medalists - and countrymen - Yohan Blake and Warren Weir with the trio draped in Jamaican flags.
Bolt, who is eager to embark on a football career, then dabbled in photography when he was given permission by freelance snapper Jimmy Wixtrom to click away.

Blake, known as "The Beast", turned beastly for Bolt as he struck a scary pose similar to the one Bolt displayed at their press conference after Sunday's 100m final.

Already Bolt had endeared himself prior to his win. He chatted with a volunteer before the race, bumped fists with another and after his victory attempted to celebrate with anyone and everyone.
