Lovely Jamaican sprinter the superman, Usain Bolt claimed yet another world record as he win the 200m final at the World Championships in Berlin. The Jamaican, who just four days earlier grabbed 100m gold in an astonishing 9.58, demolished his previous world 200m best of 19.30 set in Beijing exactly a year ago. He became the first man in history to hold two Olympic and two world titles at the same time. 
After the race Bolt said, “I can definitely say I didn’t expect that because I was a little bit tired. I said let’s try because people are really looking out for this, I said it won’t hurt to try. So I tried really hard and now I’m really tired. Maybe next time I should just run the 200m or the 100m alone. My form was going backwards. I wasn’t running upright. It wasn’t a good race but it was a fast one.”
Bolt, who completed his 200m win a day before his 23rd birthday, said “after that race I don’t think I will be able to walk for a day. I’m going to spend my birthday having a long sleep.” He set three world records when winning his Olympic golds in Beijing last year and his world record bearking World Championships in Berlin have enhanced his reputation as the best sprinter of all time.
“I keep telling you guys my aim is to become a legend,” he added. “I don’t think about records. I don’t put myself under pressure. I know what to do and I go and execute. I did well for myself and I am on my way to becoming a legend so I am just happy.”
The silver medallist and bronze medallisst are Alonso Edward of Paman who finished in 19.81, and Wallace Spearmon of the United States took bronze with 19.85. Edward, who came into this year World Championships 
with a 20.62 personal best time, registered a South American Area record of 19.81 in second place and at 19 years old became the youngest ever World medallist in the men’s 200m. His time is also a world age-19 best, breaking the 19.88 set by Bolt in 2006. And anyone who breaks one of Bolt’s records is certainly set for a bright future.
Spearmon won his second successive World 200m bronze with a time of 19.85 – his third best ever clocking – while Crawford tightened up on the line with a time of 19.89. It was the first time in history that four men had dipped under 19.90 in the same race and also the first time in which five men had broken 20 seconds.
