The world’s fastest man has [b]destroyed the field [/b]to take gold, this time in the men’s 100 metres final at the Athletics World Championships in Berlin.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Usain Bolt [b]shaved 0.11 seconds off[/b] the record he set at the 2008 Olympics, [b]clocking[/b] just 9.58 seconds in a new world record. His [b]feat[/b]represents the biggest jump in the record since [b]electronic timing[/b] was introduced in 1968.[/p][p=21, 2, left]After the race, the [b]cool-as-a-cucumber[/b] Jamaican expressed satisfaction with his performance, but indicated that he could go faster still – perhaps as fast as 9.4 seconds.[/p][p=21, 2, left]"I think it will stop at 9.4 but [b]you never know[/b]," he said. "I don't run for world records. I'll just keep on working."[/p][p=21, 2, left]Usain Bolt’s [b]fo[/b][b]rtuitous[/b] surname is a gift for English language sports writers everywhere. He has been [b]dubbed[/b] 'The Bolt', a [b]pun[/b] on [b]lightning bolt[/b].[/p][float=right][img=226,170]http://www.24en.com/d/file/bbc/bbc2/2009-08-23/0f9005fbd3d17f0ea90bebbe6ce5a4f7.jpg[/img][p=30, 2, left]Usain Bolt's height means he runs very efficiently[/p][/float]
[p=21, 2, left]They say lightning never [b]strikes[/b]twice in the same place, but [b]there is every [/b][b]chance[/b] that The Bolt will strike again later this week, when he will try to break the 200 metres world record he set in Beijing.[/p][p=21, 2, left]British sports fans have also had cause for celebration as Jessica Ennis won gold in the heptathlon, which she led from the start. She told BBC Sport:[/p][p=21, 2, left]"It's been [b]the longest two days of my life[/b] but the best. I've dreamt so many times about winning medals and becoming world champion, doing a[b]lap of honour[/b]… it's such an [b]adrenaline rush[/b] and such an amazing feeling."[/p][p=21, 2, left]Phillips Idowu [b]clinched[/b] Britain’s second gold on Tuesday in the triple jump event. He [b]edged out[/b] Portugal's Nelson Evora, who [b]pipped[/b] Idowu in Beijing.[/p][p=21, 2, left][b]Notwithstanding[/b] the absence of Liu Xiang, China has enjoyed some success with a silver medal for Wang Hao in the 20km race walk. Liu Hong won bronze in the women’s competition of the same event and Gong Lijiao also won a medal in the women’s shot put.[/p][/size][/font][/color]
