Two bolts shared
the spotlight during Sunday's 100-meter final at the IAAF Word Championships in
Moscow .
The first
was sprinter Usain Bolt, who recaptured his world title in 9.77 seconds, edging
out American Justni Gatlin abnd Jamaican Nesta Carter for second and third,
respectively, in steady rain.
The second
was a lightning bolt in the sky overheard, captured perfectly by Agent
France-Presse photographer Olivier Morin in a photo of Bolt nearing the finish
line.
The
striking, incredible photo made the rounds on social media after the race, with
many feeling it was so
improbable
and incredible that it had to be fake. But it's not.
"I did
not try to get the lightning in the pix," a surprised Morin told Yahoo!
News of the viral photo. "Getting Usain Bolt in the frame is difficult
enough."
No kidding.
The perfectly-named Jamaican sprinter is lightning-fast, a fact that this photo
-- destined to become the iconic Bolt photo -- demonstrates clearly.
