Usain Bolt won the 200 metres gold at the World Athletics Championships in a World record time of 19.19 seconds on Thursday.

The Jamaican, who dominated the 100 and 200 metres at last year's Summer Olympics [ Images ], was already the story of the World Championships after winning 100-metres title, bettering his own World record with a time of 9.58 seconds.

The new mark bettered the previous record of 19.30 seconds he set in the 200m final at the Beijing [ Images ] Games.

It was stunning run in front of a capacity crowd at the Olympic stadium. Bolt, who will be 23 on Friday, can add another gold to his haul in the 4x100m relay.
