Usain Bolt does it again, wins gold medal in 200m with Blake 2nd and Weir 3rd, all 3 Jamaicans


Usain Bolt of Jamaica crosses the line with his second consecutive 200m title, completing an unprecedented Olympic spirit double.
Jamaicans 1,2,3! Bolt, Blake and Weir take gold, silver and bronze respectively in the men's 200m final at the London 2012 Olympic Stadium.
Usain Bolt ran a 19.32sec to win gold in the men's 200 meters at the Olympic Games in London.
The 25-year-old Bolt won the 100 meters on sunday and now has five Olympic golds a number he celebrated by hitting the ground and doing five push-ups a few meters past the finish line.

The Jamaican sprinter became the first man with two Olympic titles in the 200m, part of his oft-stated goal of becoming a "living legend" in London. He won gold in Beijing in 2008 with a world-record time of 19.3 seconds. That broke American Michael Johnson's record of 19.32 set at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Bolt later lowered that mark to 19.19 in 2009.
Bolt, who has long considered the 200 his favorite event, will try to make it 6-for-6 at the Olympics in the 4x100 relay, which starts Friday. Watch out for the Usain Bolt...congrat Bolt
