It seems there is no stopping him this year as Usain Bolt stamped his authority on the 200M at the recent Athens Grand Prix when he won the event in a world leading 19.67s. Running with a 0.5m/s tail wind, Bolt finished a half a second ahead of his nearest rival, Antiguan Brendan Christian who was second in 20.36. Zimbabwe’s Brian Dzingai was third in 20.45s.
“I am very satisfied with my performance,” Bolt said after his win.
“The crowd helped me a lot. I feel sure I will be very strong at the Olympic Games,” added the 21-year-old.
