It was the 2011 World Record (37.04s) set by the same Jamaican quartet of Nesta Carter,
Michael Frater, Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt that was beaten.
Yohan is here pictured coasting to victory in his 1st. round heat. Usain Bolt's winning time
ensured Yohan's best of 19.26 remained the second fastest 200m ever recorded
(Brusells 16th. September 2011). Above photo taken 7th. August by G.H. ©
