With achieving his second world championship title in Japan, Tyson Gay runs himself into history.
He’s now one of the few that achieved the double (100m and 200m).
And he’s set to run to 4x100 relay for winning his 3th gold medal.
With his run in the final today, 19,76 seconds, he also broke the Championships record that was currently kept by Michael Johnson.
What’s even more extraordinary, is that he did it with the wind blowing in the opposite direction, what makes it harder to run a good time.
I wonder if he can brake the World record of 19,32 seconds of Michael Johnson. He’s by far the fastest man this year, by running 19,62, the
2nd fastest time ever to be run on the 200 meters.
200 meters result:
1. T. Gay - 19"76
2. U. Bolt - 19"91
3. W. Spearmon - 20"05
4. R. Martin - 20"06
5. C. Martina - 20"28
6. M. Anderson - 20"28
7. C. Williams - 20"57
8. A. Gousis - 20"75
