Bolt sets new Olympic Twitter record

The official Twitter account revealed the new record yesterday after Bolt successfully defended his 200m title and became the first athlete in history to retain both the Olympic 100m and 200m title.

Bolt also took to Twitter to express his happiness at his gold medal win. “Thanks to all my real fans and people who believe in me. I am now a living legend that’s for sure,” he tweeted to his 1.3 million followers.

The tweet was retweeted more than 8,000 times and favourited by nearly 2,000 people.

Jamaica dominated the 200m race with Yohan Blake winning silver and Warren Weir taking bronze.

Bolt’s new Twitter Olympic conversation record smashed some of the previous peaks in tweet chatter about the Games.

Last week Twitter announced another Olympic conversation peak happened when US gymnast Gabby Douglas earned the women’s all round gymnastics gold meal, with 38,000 tweets per minute happening during her victory.

Similarly when swimmers Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte went head to head last week, there were 25,000 tweets per minute about the end of their race.
