The triumph saw Bolt finish a third back to back decisive victory of the 100m, 200m and 4x100m titles taking after his six gold awards in the 2008 and 2012 Games.

In any case, Coe contended that generally as another era of boxers developed after Ali's retirement, so olympic style sports would uncover new identities after Bolt. 

"It's a huge crevice, however it's not a hole that is insuperable," Coe said. "You're not going to fill that hole overnight, but rather there are extraordinary, capable competitors out there."
