Jamaican Usain Bolt set a new world record of 19.19sec in winning the 200m at the World Athletics Championships here on Thursday.
The new mark bettered his own previous record of 19.58sec set in the 200m final of the Beijing Olympic Games last summer.
Teeth clenched, Usain Bolt grimaced as he churned toward the finish line, hoping to coax a fraction more out of his 6-foot-5 frame.
The big, yellow numbers flashing another world record time told the Jamaican sprinter he had gotten what he wanted out of the 200 meters Thursday at the world championships.
Beyond the mark of 19.19 seconds, though, was something else — the fact that he is altering his sport.
"I'm on my way to being a legend," Bolt said, without a trace of arrogance.
