He proved a match for the professionals at a packed club that's been Jamaica's Olympic party base.

That's after Bolt proved himself again, matching his Beijing gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters and the 4x100 relay.

"I am happy and I did what I did and I came here to be a legend," Bolt said at the party. "I am now, so I am very happy with myself."
