Usain Bolt has broken the 100m world record with a time of 9.58sec in the final of the World Athletics Championship. By an amazing eleven hundreths of a second, the Jamaican almost effortlessly broke his own time of 9.69sec in last year's Olympics to stun the Berlin crowd.
Any hopes his main rivals, Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell, who finished second and third respectively, might have had of beating Bolt were swiftly over, as the Olympic champion simply blew the competition out of the water. Bolt was quickly out of the blocks to leave the other competitors behind, intent on making yet more sporting history.
'I was feeling good after the semis. I knew it was going to be a great race and I executed it,' Bolt said. 'It's a great time, a great feeling, I feel good in myself and I knew I could do it.
'There was a big build up, great atmosphere. It wasn't going to be an easy race but I had a perfect start and just went from there.
'I came out here to do my best and I did what I had to do. There'll be no partying for me ahead of Tuesday. I'll rest up as always, I need to rest up for the 200m.'

Bolt had taken it easy in the semi-final, jogging to victory in an apparent attempt to save himself for a big effort in the main event. If that was his plan, it was executed with perfection.
He was even guilty of a false start in the semi-final, meaning that anyone who committed a similar offence afterwards would be automatically disqualified. Britain's Tyrone Edgar, who later revealed his disappointment at missing out, was the unfortunate man. Bolt shrugged the delays off to storm out of the blocks, before easing down to a time of 9.89sec.
That indicated something special could be on the cards for the final, and Bolt powered forward at the start, seizing control of the race after just 30m. It was only a matter of time before he broke the record, Bolt sending the crowd in Berlin's Olympic Stadium wild as he streaked across the line.
One consolation for Gay was breaking the American record of 9.77sec with a time of 9.71sec, while Dwain Chambers enjoyed a season's best, coming sixth in a time of 10.00sec.
'I ran the best I could. I just wanted to give my best tonight, it wasn't enough but I'm happy to have the national record,' said Gay.
'I knew I had to put out a championship performance. I gave it my best and that's all I could do.
Powell, who has been struggling with an ankle injury this season, added: 'I was relaxed before the race. A lot of things have happened this year but to come back and get third place, I'm very happy.
'When I saw the time, I knew I had to go out and catch him. But even after the finish I couldn't catch him.'
