Jamaica’s Usain Bolt will look to headline a jam-packed night of competition as he tries to become the first man to win the 100m in three consecutive Olympics. It is the first of three events in which he will attempt this feat, as he will also attempt to defend back-to-back wins in the 200m and 4x100m. He holds the world record in each of those events.
