Usain Bolt Coasts Into Olympic 200 Meters Final Jamaican Usain Bolt hardly had to break sweat on Wednesday as he coasted into the men's 200 meters final where he will bid for an unprecedented Olympic sprint double-double. Bolt, 25, will be joined in Thursday's gold medal showdown by compatriots Warren Weir and his most likely title rival Yohan Blake, as well as United States' one representative Wallace Spearmon. Bolt blitzed the first 100 meters to allow a gentle jog on the home straight for a heat-winning time of 20.18 seconds. The world's fastest man sped to the 100m and 200m titles in Beijing in 2008, and on Sunday secured the former event once more in scintillating style. Victory in Thursday's final would make him unquestionably the sport's greatest ever sprinter. Although Spearmon, who finished third in Beijing but was then disqualified for stepping out of his lane, is likely to battle it out with former European champion Christophe Lemaitre for bronze, Bolt did not rule out a Jamaican 1-2-3. Blake, this year's fastest man, also looked impressive, running a strong bend before easing down for the night's best time of 20.01, with Spearmon and Lemaitre in hot pursuit. European champion and this year's Olympic 100 meters finalist Churandy Martina of the Netherlands also qualified.
