2008 Beijing Olympics Results: Usain Bolt Advances to 200-Meter Track Finals

Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man, qualified for the 200-meter finals on Tuesday in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Bolt, who set the world and Olympic record in the 100-meters on Saturday, could become the first track and field runner to win the 100-meters and 200-meters in the same Olympic Games since Carl Lewis in 1984.

Bolt, the Jamaica native, won the gold medal for the 100m in historic fashion, running a time of 9.69 seconds while pounding his chest with 15-20 meters left in the race.

Bolt had the fastest qualifying time of all of the 200-meter heats, running in 20.09 seconds. USA's Shawn Crawford (20.12), Wallace Spearmon (20.14) and 100-meter bronze medalist Walter Dix (20.19) also qualified. Crawford won the gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics for the 200m.

Bolt's personal best is 19.67, the fifth-fastest time in history, just behind Spearmon's time of 19.65. The world and Olympic record for the 200-meters was set by Michael Johnson, who ran a 19.32 in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

The men's 200m final will take place on Wednesday at 10:20 a.m., according to the Olympic track schedule.
