Jamaican Usain Bolt runs fourth fastest 200 metre ever

Beijing Olympic triple gold medallist Usain Bolt ran the fourth fastest 200-metre race ever in 19.59 seconds on a wet track at the Athletissima meet in Switzerland a short while ago.



It was 100th of a second slower than what American Tyson Gay ran in May with fair weather.



However with the temperature in Lausanne dipping to 15 degrees and the track slowed by a downpour, Bolt showed he was back in top form a year after winning the 100 and 200 in world records at the Beijing Olympics.



There were two other victories for Jamaica at the meet.



Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser won the women’s 100 metres in 11.03, while former World Record holder Asafa Powell scored an easy victory in the men’s 100 metres in 10.07 seconds.
