It was no surprise for Usain Bolt to break the world record in the 200 meters final. The surprise happened when little known Ryan Brathwaite of Barbados claimed the men's 110m hurdles Thursday night in a packed Olympic Stadium. The crowd at the Berlin world athletics championships was mostly attracted by Bolt, who set a jaw-dropping 9.58 seconds world record four days ago in the 100m.

The Jamaican did not let the audience down. He clocked 19.19 seconds to smash his own world mark of 19.30 set exactly one year ago at the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Alonso Edward of Panama was second in 19.81, a South American record. American Wallace Spearmon was third, clocking 19.85.

Bolt is now the first man to hold the 100 and 200m world and Olympic titles at the same time.

Jamaica's Usain Bolt celebrates his victory in the men's 200 meters race at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin, capital of Germany, August 20, 2009. Usain Bolt on Thursday broke the world record in the 200m final with the score of 19.19 seconds, smashing his own world mark of 19.30 set exactly one year ago at the Beijing Olympic Games.

But Bolt said soon after the win that he will break another world record, in the men's 4X100m relay.

"I am ready for another world record with our relay," he said. "But I don't know whether my teammates are."

He added, "I do this for my country. They are crazy for me and proud of me. I am honored to do this for Jamaica."
