Bolt Shatters 100-Meter World Record

BERLIN — All those curious to know just how fast Usain Bolt might have gone if he had not stopped sprinting near the end of his world-record run at the Olympics last year now have a clearer answer.

Bolt pushed himself from start to finish Sunday night, and the result was a stunning time of 9.58 seconds in the men’s 100-meter final at the world track and field championships: eleven-hundredths of a second better than his game-changing mark of 9.69 in Beijing.

Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt confirmed his status as the fastest man on the planet by powering to gold in the World Championships and smashing the world record in Berlin.A year to the day in which he stunned the world by sauntering to the Olympic title, Bolt was once again a cut above his nearest rivals and the stars of yesteryear as he crossed the line in a stunning time of 9.58 seconds in the fastest 100m race of all-time.

Bolt shatters his own 100 metres world record in Berlin

In contrast to the Olympic final when he was able to coast over the line, Bolt was pushed hard on the blue track at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.

American Tyson Gay, the 2007 world champion, finished second in 9.71, the third fastest time ever, and Jamaican Asafa Powell claimed bronze in 9.84.

"I don't run for world records," Bolt told reporters. "The aim was just to come out here and execute because it was going to be a tough race.

"I got a pretty good start, I was there at 20 metres and that was it."
