Usain Bolt won the 100 meter dash at the world championships held in Moscow, beating out American Justin Gatlin, who finished second, and a field of the world’s best sprinters.

Bolt finished with a time of 9.77 seconds.

The race occurred in a rainstorm, and a photographer captured an amazing photo of the conclusion, as Bolt finished with a bolt of lightning flashing in the background.

Metaphor! Or, well, not a metaphor. Coincidence! A coincidence!
