 Usain Bolt finises first the 200m final at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Thursday, winning a gold medal. / UPIBy Ko Dong-hwan Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt’s stunning golden run continued with a win in the 200m final at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Thursday night (local time). Bolt, 29, recorded 19.78 seconds at the Olympic Stadium. Canada’s Andre De Grasse was second and France’s Christophe Lemaitre third. “There's nothing else I can do,” Bolt said after the event, according to news agency AFP. “I've proven to the world that I'm the greatest. That's what I came here for. This is why I said it's my last Olympics. I can't prove anything else.” But Bolt’s run did not break the world record of 19.19 seconds that he set at the world championships in Berlin in 2009. “I wanted to run a faster time,” Bolt said. “I knew it was going to be hard to break the world record because I could tell by my legs. “When I came off the corner, my legs decided, ‘Listen, we're not going to go any faster’.” It was Bolt’s third consecutive 200m crown and his eighth Olympic gold medal. Bolt will run one more time at the Rio Games ― in Friday’s 4x100m relay. If he wins, he will achieve the “triple triple” ― winning golds for the 100m, 200m and 4x100m at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics. |
