Rio Olympics 2016: Usain Bolt throws javelin with lights out inside Olympic Stadium

IT seems there is nothing Usain Bolt can't do at the Olympics - able to move like an arrow... and throw them too!

Not content with his astonishing TRIPLE TRIPLE of sprint golds, it has emerged that the Jamaican superstar has an arm like a shotgun.

With the lights out at 1.40 in the morning inside Rio's Olympic Stadium, there was one final cheer for the day after Mo Farah had clinched another Great Britain gold - helping take Team GB past their tally from London 2012.

And it came as giant sprinter Bolt appeared with a javelin in his hand!
