Jamaica’s Bolt Runs Fastest 200m This Year

by Jeanne Dupuis on July 15th, 2008

Jamaican runner, Usain Bolt, has run the fastest 200m race this year.  He finished with a time of 19.67 at the Tsiklitiria Athens Grand Prix track meet on Sunday.  “I am very satisfied with my performance,” Bolt said. “I feel sure I will be very strong at the Olympic Games.”

He is now the fifth-fastest person to ever run the 200m and I genuinely hope that American, Tyson Gay, and fellow Jamaican, Asafa Powell, are healthy enough to compete at the games because I would be on the edge of my seat!

Here’s a video of the race and story:
