Jamaica’s Usain Bolt proved skeptics wrong on Sunday, blasting his way to yet another gold in the men’s 100 meters and inspiring bolt poses throughout the world. These were some of the best and funniest we found, from throughout the history of bolting. At left, Max Tomlinson, 9; Lilly Tomlinson, 6; Jamie Marx, 6; Megan Marx, 4; and Dylan Marx, 9; try bolting alongside a wax Usain Bolt at Heathrow Airport.
