But he couldn't escape the cameraman riding a Segway who crashed into him moments after he'd crossed the finish line.

Thankfully the Jamaican star was OK, if a little shaken, and walked away to continue celebrating.

At least we now know: This is how you stop Usain Bolt.

UPDATE: The cameraman has shaken hands with Bolt and handed him a bracelet to say sorry.

The Guardian reports that the cameraman, called Song Tao, who works for Chinese state broadcaster CCTV and has covered many sports events, caught up with Bolt before his medal ceremony in the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing on Friday.

Song reportedly said: "The important thing is that he is OK. I'm fine and ready to get back to work."
