Michael Johson’s 200m world record shatter by Usain Bolt
August 21st, 2008 · No Comments
Usain Bolt ran another incredible race on Yesterday to shatter Michael Johnson’s 200m world record of 19.32 seconds that had looked unbeatable for a dozen years.
The Olympic sprint double, the first since Carl Lewis clinched one at home in 1984, had long been forecast for the Jamaican, but the world record in the longer dash was in some doubt. Not even Michael Johnson saw any possibility of a 19.3 this day as he addressed a press conference hours before the sprinters settled into their blocks.
Bolt obviously aimed for the record and got it at 19.30 seconds correcting an initial flash that put it at 19.31. “Incredible performance by Usain Bolt once again,” Johnson told the BBC after the Bird’s Nest, and a huge television audience around the world, watched in disbelief, as they had on day two of athletics action in the 100m.
