Athens, Greece - Jamaica’s World 100m record holder* Usain Bolt justified all expectations tonight (Sun 13) at the Athens Grand Prix - Tsiklitiria 2008 - in the Olympic stadium with his Jamaican 200m record of 19.67 seconds.
Bolt’s time was a world season lead, the fastest ever by a Central American and Caribbean athlete. A 2.37m leap accomplished by Sweden’s Stefan Holm in the men’s High Jump was also a 2008 global world lead. There was a meeting record by Cuban Dayron Robles in 13.04 secs in the men’s 110m Hurdles, while in the Long Jump there was a personal season’s best for Greece’s Luis Tsatoumas (8.44m).
