BOLT for BBC:

'It's something that you work so hard for, so that when the moment comes, winning is just relief. Obviously so much could have gone wrong. So to win today, the feeling is one of relief.

I wasn't happy with the time and my body did not respond to be down the straight. But I'm getting older, so I am pleased to get the gold medal.

That is the key thing.

I didn't feel any extra pressure because I don't pay attention to the media before races.

I just focus on what I need to do.
