South Africa’s Anaso Jobodwana dipped under 20 seconds for the first time to take the bronze medal in the 200m final at the world championships in Beijing‚ coming third to Jamaica’s Usain Bolt and the United State’s Justin Gatlin.

Jobodwana’s personal best set a new South African record and produced one of the greatest short distance sprints in the country’s history.

Bolt’s victory followed his victory in the 100m at the championships‚ giving him a clean sweep over Gatlin‚ the only man to challenge his dominance over world sprinting.
