Usain Bolt shattered another of his own world records on Thursday, running a blistering 19.19 seconds to win the men's 200 metres at the world championships in Berlin.
Exactly a year after capturing Olympic gold in 19.30, the rangy Jamaican burst out to an excellent start into a slight headwind in Lane 5 and blew away a fast but overmatched field.
"I was a little tired, but I decided, 'What the heck, let's just try,'" said Bolt, who also lowered his 100-metre mark by 0.11 in Sunday's gold-medal race.
How low can they go?
The progression of the 200-metre world record over the last four decades, since Tommie Smith (pictured) set his standard at the 1968 Olympics.
Alsonso Edward of Panama finished second in 19.81 a South American record but still a gaping 0.62 behind Bolt.
Wallace Spearmon of the U.S. got the bronze in a season-best 19.85, while American Shawn Crawford and Jamaican Steve Mullings missed the medal stand despite clocking in at under 20 seconds.
"Just coming out there, I'm just waiting for the lights to flash Game Over, cause I felt like I was in a video game," said Crawford, who was fourth. "That guy was moving fast."
Bolt didn't have to contend with defending 200 world champion Tyson Gay. The American, who finished second in the 100 final, opted to rest a lingering groin injury in hopes of contributing to the U.S. 4x100 relay team.
Bolt has taken a sledgehammer to Michael Johnson's once-iconic standard of 19.32 set at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. And the gregarious Jamaican, who only turns 23 on Friday, may not be done breaking records.
While he wouldn't guess how low he can take his 100 time, Bolt suggested he hasn't yet reached the boundaries of human potential.
"I think 9.4 is the limit," Bolt said. "I don't know if I can do it."
But, he added, "Anything is possible."
