Usain Bolt Sets World Record in 200 Meters

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…….SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN.

Keep on holding your heads up high and ignore the negativity that is around you – always remember put God first in everything you do.
