Usain Bolt wins 200-meters gold in Rio
Usain Bolt has won the men's 200m to claim his second Rio 2016 gold, his eighth at an Olympics, and keep alive his hopes of an unprecedented 'treble treble'.
The Jamaican ran 19.78 seconds to come home ahead of Canada's Andre de Grasse and France's Christophe Lemaitre. He was the only man to run under 19secs in the race.
Bolt who turns 30 on the last day of the Olympics August 21 has already won the 100m in Rio and will run in the 4x100m relay final on Friday (2:35am Nigerian time, Saturday).
Bolt is the first man to get a double triple, i.e win the 100 and 200 meters and 4x100m relay in two consecutive Olympic Games, and now he has won the 100 and 200m title thrice.
