Usain Bolt Wins 200m Final | London 2012 Olympic Games

Usain Bolt wins the final of the men's 200m at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Yohan Blake and Warren Weir finished second and third respectively as Jamaica win gold, silver and bronze in the event.

Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men. =========================================

Yohan Blake deserves an Olympic gold in 100m and 200m. But sadly, he was in Bolt's era

Every Olympic event should include one average person competing for reference.

I’m grateful for Athletes like Blake they made sure we get the best of Bolt

[jaybrick]

bolt is such a cool name for a sprinter

[Toetothunder]

This race is a testament to Glen Mills skill. Imagine having all 3 medals coming from not just the same country but the same training camp/coach!

[darkstallin]

Yohan Blake is one of the most shadowed athletic ever. Feel for him.

[GodsPreciousChild]

I'm so proud to be a Jamaican. For such a small country compared to the sizes of their other competition we're really good. Goooo JAMAICA!!!!

[Pistolwhipperz]

Warren Weir made me so Happy. He really worked hard, and really wanted to be on that podium with his team mates. Awesome.

[picknice]

yohan blake is the most underrated athlete in the history

[rileyonthatbeat]

This will forever be an *iconic* race *Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🥇🥈🥉*

[PTJ_S]

Incredible how thousands of people could be so quiet at the same time. Respect

[JeffSmith-eqkc]

Bolt was so excited when he realized Warren finished 3rd.

[jamaicastrong]

This is arguably the greatest 200m of all time.

[jamaicankittenable]

Can u imagine running in a race where ur trying to get the bronze only to find out in the end there's another Jamaican in the race and he got it, man that must be hard.

[dsq_badness]

Bro, I didn't even realise this over the years I've been watching this race, HE SLOWED DOWN AND STILL RAN 19.32 to show Blake we was the best, what a guy💥

[Raw_naq]

Today I finished in 19.30 too.
it was 100m tho

[venesejarrett]

2020 and am still here watching the great legend. Put a like if u miss him as much as me. One love.

[umeshverma]

This is the Greatest 200m finals I have ever seen. I was impressed with how yohan Blake got so close to Bolt. He was just a fraction behind Bolt.

[lepptdeff]

"Usain bolt is absolutely flying around the straight" still gives me goose bumps

[tisatact]

It must be an unbelievable feeling to know that out of over 7 billion people you are undoubtedly THE fastest person on the planet!
