BEIJING - Jamaica's Usain Bolt redefined sprinting forever Wednesday night.

He won the Olympic 200 meters in 19.30 seconds, breaking Michael Johnson's seemingly untouchable world record of 19.32 seconds.

The time was even more startling since it was run into a headwind of about two miles per hour.

Churandy Martina of Netherlands Antilles was second in 19.82. Wallace Spearmon of the United States was disqualified for a lane violation after finishing third in 19.95 but did not know as he took a lap of honor with the flag. The DQ moved defending champion Shawn Crawford of the US. up to the bronze in 19.96.
