New Delhi: Usain Bolt is widely acknowledged as the greatest sprinter of all time.

Millions around the world, paid a tribute to sprint king, who had to settle for bronze in the last 100m race of his career.

"I did it for the fans," he said after collecting a bronze to go with his three world golds at 100 meters. "They wanted me to go for one more season. I came out and did the best I could.

Former Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene took to Twitter to applaud Bolt's effort.
