BERLIN: Usain Bolt extended his stunning domination in the sprints Thursday, adding the 200-meter gold to his tally at the world championships with yet another world record.
Gritting his teeth and pointing to the clock as soon as the record flashed, Bolt is now 5-for-5 in major sprint events, winning gold each time with a world record.
His time of 19.19 slashed .11 seconds of the mark he set last year, four days after breaking his 100 record by the same margin.
‘I was running my heart out,’ Bolt said. ‘I got my start right and that was the key. And when I got the start I knew I was fine.’
Alonso Edward of Panama was second, a massive .62 seconds behind Bolt. Wallace Spearmon of the United States took bronze.
