Usain Bolt proved that he’s still the worlds fastest man after he finished the 100m in just 9.58 seconds on Sunday at the World Championships. That’s .11 seconds faster than the mark he set last year at the Beijing Olympics.

“I don’t run for world records,” Bolt said after breaking the record.

Most people in Bolt’s position would be overjoyed, but he thought he’d be a lot faster.

“I know I said 9.4,” Bolt said, smiling. “You never know. I’ll just keep on working.”

Unlike fellow olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt did not celebrate by taking bong hits.
