Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has broken the men's 100-metre world record, to clinch Olympic Gold in 9.69 seconds.
His former world record was 9.72 seconds. The 21-year-old won his country's first Olympic title, ahead of Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago and Walter Dix of the United States. Meanwhile, in the pool, Michael Phelps has equalled fellow American Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals at one Olympics by taking the men's 100-meter butterfly. German athletes won the silver and bronze medals in the men's 25-meter rapid fire pistol competition and silver in men's point race in track cycling.
