Usain Bolt of Jamaica sprints to the finish line between Walter Dix of the U.S. (2nd L) Nickel Ashmeade of Jamaica (L) Bruno de Barros of Brazil (2nd R) and Rondel Sorrillo of Trinidad and Tobago (R) to win the men's 200 metres final at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, Sept. 3.
