Usain Bolt Wins 200 Meters Final with a Time of 19.32
Usain Bolt became the first man to win both the 100 and 200 meters in the Olympics twice, after winning the 200 meters final with a time of 19.32.
Usain, 25, eased into the finish ahead of fellow Jamaicans Yohan Blake and Warren Weir, who took second and third with times of 19.44 and 19.84, respectively.
Bolt just missed his own 200 meters Olympic record of 19.30. He also holds the 19.18 second world record.
The fastest man in the world also won both the 100 and 200 in the Beijing 2008 games, and successfully defended his 100 title earlier this week, setting an Olympic record with a 9.63.
He was already in hallowed ground with that win, being one of the few repeat 100 meter gold medalists, but this most recent feat - defending both titles - will make him unquestionably the greatest Olympian sprinter ever.
He will continue on to run the 4 x 100 meter relays.
