Berlin, Germany (GenevaLunch) – Usain Bolt matched his performance in the 100 metres with another record-smashing race in the 200 metres. He broke his own world record of 19.30 seconds by 0.11 to register a 19.19 time. He also broke his 100m record by 0.11.
He is the first athlete to hold the Olympic and World titles in both races at the same time. Bolt said afterwards that he was pleased by the time, but not with his technique in the 200m, saying that he was tired!
