This is a sports heavy day in the pop world.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has captured ANOTHER world record for track.
Usain Bolt startled the world again.
The Jamaican sprinting great captured the 200-meter gold medal in 19.19 seconds Thursday, yet another world record. Gritting his teeth, he pointed to the clock as soon as the time flashed.
His time in the 200 slashed 0.11 seconds off the mark he set last year at the Beijing Olympics and came four days after he broke his 100 record by the same margin.
“I am on my way to being a legend,” said Bolt.
No one among the near capacity crowd at the 70,000-seat Olympic Stadium disagreed.
“If Queen Elizabeth knighthooded me and I would get the title Sir Usain Bolt, that would be very nice,” Bolt said.
Bolt is now 5-for-5 in major sprint events. He won the gold in the 100, 200 and sprint relay in Beijing’s Bird Nest, each time with a world record. Now he is one race away from doing likewise in Berlin.
“I was running my heart out,” Bolt said. “I got my start right and that was the key.”
