Bolt Again, and Again! 19.19 World Record in Berlin!

BERLIN — Bolt Runs Away With Another One: Usain Bolt ran the 200 meters in 19.19 seconds, 11-hundredths of a second faster than the world record he established a year ago at the Beijing Olympics. So it went again Thursday at the world championships on the blue track he has made his latest playground. Bolt proved that he did not require the hot breath of a dangerous challenger like Tyson Gay to obliterate his own world record in the 200 meters. Running alone — startlingly alone — for the last half of the race in Lane 5, Bolt showed no interest in slowing down with the gold medal already a foregone conclusion. Instead, he sprinted through the finish, and the result was the stunning, symmetrical time of 19.19 seconds. [ READ MORE ]

Ray Stefani, an engineering professor emeritus at California State University Long Beach and a researcher on sports performance, calculated where the other six would be on the track at the moment Bolt reached the finish line. Those calculations are based on each runner’s sprinting at a constant velocity (in reality, some runners sprint faster toward the finish) and don’t account for track conditions those runners faced at the time, or the inferior quality of their shoes.

Usain Bolt smashed the world record as he decimated his rivals to claim 100 metres Olympic Gold in Beijing.

   [ENLARGE]
Usain Bolt of Jamaica smashed his own record in the 100 meters despite slowing up to celebrate the gold medal he won in the process on Saturday.

He shaved three hundredths of a second of his own world record in a blistering time of 9.69 seconds and looks capable of going even quicker.

The Jamaican was so much in control of the race he found the time to celebrate before crossing the line in front of a packed Bird’s Nest.

Said Bolt:

“I want to say, I came here to prove I am the best.

“I have trained for years for this and prepared for this.

“I’m just happy, I came here to prove that I’m the best in the world and I did that.

“I came here with a plan and I executed it.

“I don’t really know what happened. I even could be 9.60.

“As soon as I saw I had covered the field and I knew I would win, I was very happy and I started to celebrate.

“I wasn’t worried about the time. I just came here to win.”

   Some predicted Usain Bolt could’ve turned in a 9.54 had he not
   shut it down with at least 15 meters left in the race.
