The 2012 Olympics in London generated 150 million tweets and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt ran away with a big share of them, according to Twitter. The social network, assessing the 16-day event, found that Bolt’s 200m and 100m races prompted the most chatter during the Games. The former netted more than 80,000 tweets per minute while the former generated more than 74,000 TPMs as they’re known in Twitter’s headquarters.

Meanwhile, Bolt was the most-discussed athlete during the Games, but he was one of 10 athletes to prompt more than 1 million tweets:

1. Usain Bolt
2. Michael Phelps
3. Tom Daley
4. Ryan Lochte
5. Gabby Douglas
6. Andy Murray
7. Kobe Bryant
8. Yohan Blake
9. Lee Chong Wei
10. LeBron James

However, the most-discussed moment in the Games had nothing to do with athletics: Instead the return of the Spice Girls during the closing ceremonies generated the most buzz — 116,000 TPMs — which far outstripped Bolt’s achievement.
