...didn't think David Rudisha would break the 800m world record in the final!What a lad!
I expected this.
Sally Pearson was the other WR which I was expecting, but this never materialised (probably due to horrendous weather).

the audience paid a lot of money to see the finals. would you prefer bolt to of ran the 200m and walk straight off after, and not speak and celebrate with the fans after?
Or do what he did last night?

I imagine it'll be a loan or gift from the manufacturer, just to get it seen.

I wonder how much those photos he took will be worth?
They're already up on the web on the site of a Swedish newspaper that the photographer works for. Bolt is a better runner than photographer!

Got a link for that mate?
On my phone so it's tricky. Google for usain bolt photos and you'll find it. The mail and telegraph have stories. The actual paper is called aftonbladet but it's all in Swedish!

The camera would have been setup for the photog who was using it - auto focus, auto exposure and other settings were probably mapped to different buttons.
This is a very good point.
Fans have paid £1000s for their tickets. I think its only fair that the athlete's perform to their best and if the fans want it, that they spend time doing post race autographs/photos/lap of honour, etc.
I think you might have missed the point.
Found it after a few minutes Googling.

I am not sure how anybody can criticise Bolt for being outgoing.arrogant/confident..he took time out to chat to the girl at the blocks, he spent a lot of time out on the track afterwards so fans could get photos and he has a great rapport with the crowd, teasing kids, having fun with his team mates..and they respond back, was great to see Blake doing daft poses while Bolt snapped him..it all adds up to great entertainment for the crowd
he is the best in the world at what he does..he knows it and everybody else knows it.

Most likely, didn't think of that. Surely they'll just let him keep it, especially a custom one with Jamaican colours like that. Saying that they could take it back and sell it for more after the race it's been worn in.
What a jolly exciting evening it was:
