By now, you've heard that Usain Boltwon the gold medal and set a new Olympic record in the 100-meter final on Sunday night at the 2012 Summer Olympics. But, what you might not know is that Bolt accomplished both things just seconds after some crazy British fan named Ashley Gill (hit the thumbs to see his photo) attempted to throw a beer bottle at him prior to the race.

Fortunately, the guy has the accuracy of Tim Tebow and, despite the fact that he was reportedly sitting in the first row during the race, he came nowhere close to hitting Bolt. But, why would Gill, who was arrested after the incident, even try in the first place? You, sir, are a jackass. Enjoy jail.
