Usain Bolt has won the world championships 200m gold in 19.40 seconds - the fourth-fastest 200 meters in history - after his famous disqualification in the 100m last week.

The Jamaican runner, who was disqualified for a false start in the 100m last week, was the slowest out of the blocks before running the 200 metres at 0.21 seconds slower than the record he set two years ago.

But 19.40 seconds was fast enough to secure gold, Walter Dix from USA took silver in 19.70 seconds and Christophe Lemaitre from France took bronze in 19.80 seconds.

In a statement after his victory Bolt commented: “I made a mistake but I came back to show the world that I’m still the best,”

“I’m not a legend yet. I’m on my way, but I’ve got to go to London and blow people’s minds, to go to the Olympics and do something extraordinary.”

Bolt could add another gold on Sunday evening when he participates in the 4x100m relay.
