Usain Bolt Sets World Record in 200 Meters
August 20th, 2008
Lightning does indeed strike twice.
Usain Bolt broke the world record in the 200 meters, running a 19.30 to take home gold for Jamaica.
Michael Johnson held the old world record at 19.32, a mark he set during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
For a runner who claimed earlier in the week that he wasn’t interested in breaking records, Bolt actually ran a complete race for the first time in Beijing.
In winning the 200 meters, Bolt becomes the first athlete since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win gold in both the 100 and 200 meters.
Phelps won his eight. Bolt put Jamaica on the map. Team USA is blowing away the competition.
Can we just end the Olympics today?

Ok first of all y’all need to stop hating on Usain Bolt my fellow Jamaican. Which competition team USA blowing away certainly not the Jamaicans and Jamaica was already on the map from looooong time with our reggae music yuh know the same music the ole a unuh a crazy ova and not to mention our patois that unuh a try chat….this year is our year and we are taking back what is rightfully ours after Marion Jones took it away
See what happens when runners work hard. Note to kids ,Say no to drugs.
The Caribbean is really deserving of its wins, just think, now that the drug testings are random it makes me wonder just how many Caribbean athletes could of taken home medals in the past
Yeah man our Jamaican athlete done it again. I Loooooooooooooove my country
stop hating on my country, jamaica! out of many people we are one, thats our motto and we live up to it every day of our life, so americans stop hating, sorry no steriods baby, yam and banana straight, we pon stop, i love my jamaica. go usain bolt, one more gold relay here we come
If there’s one thing that bothers me about American male runners is their arrogance and bravado when they are being interviewed by the press. For once, be humble and stop acting like you won the race before the gunshot goes off.
BIGUPS TO JAMTOWN& #8230; 8230;.SE EEEEEEEE EEEEEEEN .

A Special CONGRATULATIONS to Usain Bolt who won the Men’s 200 meters and Melaine Walker who won the Women’s 400 meters Hurdles today.
Keep on holding your heads up high and ignore the negativity that is around you - always remember put God first in everything you do.

I respect usain he came to the olympics with one thing in my mind to win the gold medal and to put Jamaica on the map ( FOR REAL), and he accomplished that. It’s about time for someone other then the US to take home a gold, and on top of that do something that no man has ever done before in olympic HISTORY!!!! MUCH RESPECT!
Bolt was as fast as me two years ago and now he is the greatest of all time????? Our guys tuned him up when he was in college. He is 100% on juice as well as those gorilla Jamaican women. They said he ran a 3.54 40 yard dash. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
BIG UP Jamaica everytime! And for you white Knight you need to stop player hating on the guy. Bolt won the race fair and square and he doesn’t need to be on any juice either. Maybe you where on juice to know that Bolt was on juice and maybe you have a gorilla woman for yourself. So Boy go wai from here and leave the man alone. You know how the man train it’s now in any college turn him up, he turn up in Jamaica BOY!
you are so cool. but i just found out your secret that you have joined an online club !!!★★★ http://RichMatchMaking.com ★★★, by which you are seeking a sexy girl for extramarital relationship.
usa take note
Jamaica to tha world mon!! As Dj Khaled would say “We tha best”…1
Im so glad to say, CONGRATULATION from Mexico To JAMAICA, wich is a BIG country and now has showed to the world that doing things with love and passion, courage u just can made it!! Its not about money or being the “powerful” country in this world.
Usain Bolt had made so much for his country and now for his community, which want to fix the roads and take water by pipes to receive USAIN!! Also he has invited the princess of China to visit Jamaica, and their people is trying fixing roads,to support Usain for being a Host!
Congr atulatio ns Jamaica, I know your people and is wonderful. There is a little community of Jamaicans here in Mexico, and we are so proud a happy!!
VIVA JAMAICA!!
As long as the black man or woman gets a gold medal, I don’t care what country he or she is from. Black Power is all that matter.
White Knight I am a proud black Jamaica Gorilla GAL and to top that off i am feeling gorilla like on top of the world right now, people like u give us more reason to feel elated and enjoy the glory that our athletesother hard working Jamaicans have bestowed upon our great nation. I LOVE THEM ALL AND NO ONE CAN CAN TAKE THAT FEELING AWAY FROM US. MORE GOLD IN THE RELAYS, SORRY US WE REALLY WANTED THE COMPETITION AND TEARS FLOWED FREELY FROM MY EYES, JUST TO KNOW WE ALL WORKED SO HARD FOR THIS MOMENT. GOD BLESS ALWAYS.

Congratulations! I feel soo proud to see a fellow Caribbean national break history! It’s awesome to see someone excel at his career and see his dreams through, making his goals a reality. As for claims of him boasting, it;’s the nature of the sport! Ay, he broke a world record - twice! Which proud athlete won’t show how happy he is! They jus hatin on the Lightning Bolt! Shine bright man!!!!
That’s how you do it people! Congrats to Jamaica and Usain Bolt for winning both races and setting records that we’ll probably never see broken for a long time to come. I’d love to see it, but it’s going to be hard. USA has a lot to make up for! Jamaica track and field is literally smashing the competition.
