Usain Bolt wins 200m Race at London Anniversary Games as Jamaican Sprinter Shines at Olympic Stadium

The 29-year-old won gold in both the 100m and 200m at the London and Beijing Olympics, and will defend both titles in Rio next month.

Dominated the men’s 200m at the Anniversary Games in London’s Olympic Stadium.

The six-time Olympic champion clocked 19.89 seconds – 0.15 ahead of Panama’s Alonso Edward in second.

Britain’s Commonwealth silver medallist Adam Gemili was third in a season’s best 20.07.

Bolt’s performance will have eased concerns after he missed the Jamaican trials earlier this month with injury.

The fastest 200m time of the year is 19.74 by United States sprinter LaShawn Merritt, while Bolt’s word record – set in 2009 – is 19.19.

“I didn’t execute the start well but I came through injury free so I’m happy with that.”

America’s Keni Harrison and Britain’s Laura Muir gave the most impressive performances on an evening which saw one world and two British records broken.

Harrison broke a 28-year-old world record in the women’s 100m hurdles, crossing the line in an astonishing 12.20 seconds.

However the 23-year-old, in tears at the finishing line after learning of her feat, will not be competing in Rio after stumbling in the American trials.
