Bolt unfazed by robot’s record run, eyes

Most athletes might bristle at seeing their records being broken. When eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt learned that a robot in China had eclipsed his 100-metres world record by almost a second, he was rather amused by the turn of events.
“It’s just one of those things. I guess that’s where the world is going right now,” the Jamaican said with a laugh and a shrug. “It just made me smile.”
A couple of weeks ago, “Robot beats Bolt” was splashed across headlines after Tiangong Ultra won the 100m final at the second World Humanoid Robot Games, clocking 8.64 seconds, almost a second faster than Bolt’s 9.58 world-record set in 2009.
The 40-year-old Bolt was in relaxed form as he met reporters in Budapest on the final day of the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship, delivering a stream of anecdotes and one-liners that showed why he remains one of athletics’ most magnetic personalities.
