Jamaica's Usain Bolt easily beat American rival Justin Gatlin to claim his fourth consecutive world 200 meter title yesterday evening in Beijing.
Bolt clocked a world-leading 19.55 seconds to beat Gatlin by nearly two-tenths.
The clear victory extends Bolt's domination of sprinting which stretches back to when he took the world by storm at the 2008 Olympics in the same Bird's Nest stadium.
It also means he has now won 11 of the last 12 individual Olympic and world sprint titles dating back to that time -- his only blip coming after a false start in the 100 meters at the 2011 worlds in Daegu.■
