A sprint double was all too predictable. To make the Olympics perfect, Usain “Lightning” Bolt added a world record double yesterday by winning the gold medal in the 200 metres.

Already well ahead coming off a tight bend that was supposed to be his only challenge, the Jamaican didn’t coast for the first time in the Games and bettered the world record of Michael Johnson — one that even the track great considered still out of reach.

With his time of 19.30 seconds, he sliced .02 seconds off the mark dating to the 1996 Atlanta Games. He also cut his personal best by a massive .37 seconds.

“I’m shocked. I am still shocked,” Bolt said. “I have been aspiring to the world record for so long.”

Bolt won by the biggest margin since the 200 came on the Olympic scene 108 years ago. In a sport dominated by hundreds of seconds, he beat the field by two-thirds of a second.

“Everything came together tonight and I just blew my mind and blew the world’s mind,” he said.

Shawn Crawford took silver in 19.96, while fellow American Walter Dix got bronze in 19.98.
