Bolt, 23, chopped a massive 0.22 seconds off the previous meet mark of 19.79 seconds by the American Tyson Gay, who suffered a 100-metre defeat to Jamaican Asafa Powell earlier in the meet.
Powell clocked 9.89 seconds for a solid win over Gay, and the Caribbean secured other victories at the year’s last Golden League event through Barbadian Ryan Brathwaite and Jamaican Brigitte Foster-Hylton in the sprint hurdles.
