Usain Bolt of Jamaica redefined men's sprinting when he became the first man in 112 years of Olympic history to win the 200m and 100m sprint double with double world records - and the first man to hold both those records simultaneously.
"It blew my mind and it blew the mind of the world," said Bolt, who celebrated the start of his 22nd birthday at a news conference early Thursday to explain his heroics.
Unlike in the 100 metres when he was already dancing as he crossed the finish line, Bolt was still running flat out at the end as he clocked a jaw-dropping 19.30 seconds for his 200m gold on Wednesday.
That shaved two hundredths of a second of Michael Johnson's 19.32 seconds from August 1, 1996 at the Atlanta Olympics. The Jamaican won the 100m Saturday with a stunning world record of 9.69 seconds.
Bolt is the first man since Carl Lewis in 1984 in Los Angeles and the ninth overall to win the 100m and 200m at one Olympics.

Usain Bolt is one of the best athlete, having so much stamina. he always have anxiety for win. If you also want to get such strong muscles, good stamina and fitness then try SARMs supplements. They help for muscle lean and gain more weight.
