Bolt said, “I was ready. I was feeling good after the semi-finals. I knew it was going to be a great race and I executed it. It’s a great time. I did well and I feel good. It was a big build-up. I have to rest up now and no partying for me and come back out Tuesday.”
Gay said, “I ran the best I could. It wasn’t the best on the night - I gave it my all.”
