World and Olympic champion Usain Bolt brought the curtain down on another record-breaking season yesterday when he cruised to victory in the 200m at the World Athletics Final.
But the Jamaican found himself sharing top billing with America's Carmelita Jeter who ran the third fastest women's 100m of all time. Bolt won the 200m in 19.68sec, outside the world record of 19.19sec he set at the world championships in Berlin last month, but quick enough to see off America's Wallace Spearmon (20.21sec) and Antigua's Brendan Christian (20.65sec). Bolt was to have completed his season by running in Shanghai, on September 20, and Daegu, in South Korea, five days later, but has pulled out citing fatigue. "I am happy that the season is over. Now I want to go home and rest," said Bolt.
