The men’s 4x100m relay finals will feature the last time we’ll have an opportunity to watch Usain Bolt race in the Olympics.
Rio 2016 live stream: How to watch Friday’s Olympic events online through NBC Sports
Friday is the last opportunity to see Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt race in the Olympics, and you won’t want to miss it.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Bolt has confirmed he plans to retire after the 2017 World Championships in London, so the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo are not in the cards for the world’s fastest man. Bolt has already won gold in the men’s 100m, finishing in 9.81 seconds and making it look easy. Bolt struggled with injuries this year and there was even talk heading into these Games that American sprinter Justin Gatlin might be able to edge him out, but that didn’t happen. Instead, Bolt won, and he won easily.
There’s one more opportunity to see Bolt making 100m look easy, and NBC Sports will stream it live starting at 7:10 p.m. ET on Friday.
Team USA’s Jordan Burroughs is the reigning Olympic champion in the 74kg weight class, and he will compete for another gold on Friday. Burroughs has only lost one match since his win in the London Games, and he wrestled that match with a sprained MCL. He’s favored to take gold again, and you can watch it via live stream on Friday at 3 p.m.
