I am totally gobsmacked. For the second time in a few days Usain Bolt has managed to reduce the world record by 0.11 seconds, this time in the 200m! He was running into a headwind and was tired, just imagine what might happen when he is fresh and the wind is at his back!
Well done Usain you are an inspiration. After the 200m Bolt told BBC Sport:
"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."
I always wonder what the others in the race think and Shawn Crawford sums it up nicely:
"Just coming out there, I’m just waiting for the lights to flash ‘game over,’ because I felt like I was in a video game," said Crawford. "That guy was moving – fast."
Crawford finished 4th.
