Once again Jamaican Usain "Thunder" Bolt, has written his name in the books of records, this time winning the 2009 IAAF World championship 200m finals and beating the previous record of 19.3 seconds, set by himself in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The 23 year old sprinter crossed the finish line when the chronometer registered 19.19s, there was never a threat from his rivals and to prove it he finished 62 tenths adrift second placed Alonso Edward from Panama.
By achieving this Bolt became the first man to break both 100m and 200m world records more than once, he also has broke records in five consecutive finals -the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m of the 2008 Olympics- and this year 100m and 200m in Berlin.
At the moment Usain Bolt is in a league of his own, with nobody being able to question his dominance of the events where he takes part, his closest rivals Tyson Gay, who retired from the 200m event with an injury, and Asafa Powell finished second and third respectively in the 100m and had never been close to post the performances Bolt has displayed this last year.
