Usain Bolt sets 200m world lead in Oslo

Usain Bolt has run the fastest 200m time of the year, finishing in 19.79 seconds in Oslo this evening.

The Jamaican world record holder and Olympic champion comfortably won his first competitive race at the distance this season.

Bolt was surprisingly beaten over 100m in Rome last week by Justin Gatlin, but was at his best today after recovering from an early-season hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old's main rival in the race was European champion Churandy Martina, but he was disqualified for a false start.
