The tweets-per-minute record was broken during the 200-meter mens sprint in the 2012 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, 25, finished the race in 19.32 seconds, with over 80,000 tweets going out within a minute.<\/p>\n

“Record alert!” Twitter announced in a tweet<\/a> earlier today. “@usainbolt sets a new Olympic Games conversation record with over 80,000 TPM for his 200m victory.”<\/p>\n

Bolt himself has more than 1.3 million Twitter followers and has been actively tweeting throughout the games.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to all my real fans and people who believe in me,” he tweeted after the race. “I am now a living legend that’s for sure.”<\/p>\n
