Usain Bolt is celebrating his 23rd birthday with another world record and another world title, in the men's 200m.
The Jamaican turns 23 on Friday, hours after smashing his own record mark. On Thursday he crossed the line in 19.19 seconds, taking 0.11s off the old time.
Bolt wasn't put off when the race had one false start, finishing a long way ahead of the rest of the field.
Alonso Edward of Panama was second, a huge 0.62 seconds behind. Wallace Spearmon of the US took bronze.
After the race Bolt said he thinks he can go faster still: "I keep saying anything is possible. You work hard, you train hard. I still train very hard and running fast races doesn't change that."

And when a journalist asked him if he fancied a knighthood the cheeky star said he'd quite like one to add to his gold medals.
