Story behind the iconic image of the 2013 World Championships in Moscow...

The day after Usain Bolt won the Gold medal in the mens 100m at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow, this photo appeared on newspapers all over the world. Taken just after the finish, it is of course very symbolic with the world's fastest man having the surname Bolt  and then having a bolt of lightning in the background.

Irish sports commentator Will Downing caught up with the photographer Olivier Morin and asked him how he captured the image.
