It wasn't even close this time. Usain Bolt of Jamaica overpowered American rival Justin Gatlin (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/08/usain-bolt-justlin-gatlin-200-video-world-championships-19-55-time-beijing) to win the 200 meters Thursday at the track and field World Championships in Beijing.
The race was tight between the two until the straightaway, when Bolt pulled away (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/08/27/usain-bolt-wins-200-meter-world-championship-with-ease-beating-justin-gatlin/) to clock an eased-up 19.55 seconds to Gatlin's 19.74, numerous outlets reported. Anaso Jobodwana of South Africa took the bronze in 19.87.
Bolt had defeated Gatlin by just a hundredth of a second in the 100 meters on Sunday. Bolt is the 2008 and 2012 Olympic champion in both the 100 and 200 meters; Gatlin is the 2004 Olympic champion in the 100.
Unlike Sunday's race, this time, there was no contest.
He had a much tougher opponent in an out-of-control Segway afterward.
