Picture of the day has to be the victory celebration of the fastest man on earth, Jamaican Usain Bolt, after winning Olympic gold at the 100 m sprint.
This picture was shot by London-based Reuters staff photographer Dylan Martinez and the composition is perfect.
The winner looks up, while the silver medallist can only look on; it’s full of action, with both men off the ground. With a closer look you can even see that Bolt’s shoe lace is undone.

Can you imagine how he would have felt if he had tripped on that shoestring.
How could someone allow that to happen in an event they have practiced years for and would decide their future
