Usain Bolt broke his own world record in the 200 meters as he completed the sprint double at the World Championships in Berlin in sensational style.
BERLIN -- Usain Bolt spent the week telling everyone not to expect another world record in the 200 meters. Don't listen to the man. Not even he knows how fast he can run.
