Bolt climbed gingerly to his feet to complete his lap of honor, which drew praise online with some commenting "what a sportsman with such a quick reaction."

"I have a few cuts but it's nothing that I've never done to myself in training so I'll be all right," added Bolt. "He didn't hit me in my ankles, he hit my in my calf area so I'll get over it."
