Photo Special: Athletics World Championships 2009

The story of the 2009 Athletics World Championships in Berlin has been all about one man – Usain Bolt.

He is the first man to hold the 100 and 200m World and Olympic titles at the same time after he recorded a stunning victory in the 200m final last night.

Usain set a time of 19.19 seconds to shatter the previous record of 19.30 he set in winning Olympic gold last summer in Beijing.

On Sunday he broke the 100m record crossing the line in 9.58 seconds.

And I don’t believe he is finished breaking records yet either, I think Mr Bolt has more to come.

Let’s take a look at forty stunning images snapped during the 2009 event including Usain Bolt pictured next to the electronic timer showing his 200m world record.
