Lightning Bolt strikes again

Move over Michael Phelps, the Beijing Olympics has another superstar.

Usain Bolt entered the Olympic history books in a big way Wednesday, becoming the first man ever to break world records while winning both 100- and 200-metre races at a single Games.

Showing what he can do when he runs at full speed all the way through the finish - something he hadn't done in the 100 - Bolt finished in 19.30 seconds, eclipsing the old 200 record of 19.32 seconds set by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
