Usain Bolt of Jamaica broke the world record by winning the 200 meters in 19.30 seconds Wednesday night, becoming the first man since Carl Lewis in 1984 to sweep the 100 and 200 gold medals at an Olympics, beating the old record of 19.32 seconds set by Michael Johnson in Atlanta in 1996.
Bolt was an astonishing 0.52 seconds ahead Churandy Martina of Netherlands Antilles who along with US runner Wallace Spearmon (who would have won bronze) were disqualifed for running out of their lanes.

There was no showboating in this race. Unlike his 100 meter performance he did not slow down at the end. After doing his victory lap, he told the cameras, "I am number one" ....Oh baby that is not showboating. That's real talk ....straight up.

Toriano Wilson died from injuries sustained after crashing with two other riders (Luciano Ribodino of Argentina [stable condition] and Garet Tomlinson of Aledo, Texas [uninjured]) at the Virginia International Raceway on Sunday. The 14-year-old was taking part in the Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup series race. According to a race spokesman: "Toriano Wilson, a road racer from Bermuda, fell on the track during the first lap and was accidentally struck by another rider while attempting to get out of the way." He was airlifted to UNC Hospital in North Carolina but later died from his injuries.

Our condolences to his family and all of Bermuda who he represented with pride.
