Even Michael Johnson astonished by Bolt's progress

A year ago Michael Johnson predicted Usain Bolt would probably break his then 12-year-old 200 metres world record, but not yet. An hour later he was eating his words as his 19.32 was taken by the Jamaican's 19.30. Johnson, this time, said on Thursday he thought Bolt was too tired to take it down further, only to watch stupefied as he took 11 hundredths off to complete a clean sweep of world and Olympic sprint titles, all secured with world record runs.
