Bolt runs Britain's fastest 200m
Usain Bolt underlined his Olympic credentials with a stunning victory in the 200m at the London Grand Prix.
The 100m world record holder eased home in 19.76 seconds ahead of Wallace Spearmon and Ireland's Paul Hession.
There were wins for British duo Marilyn Okoro and Martyn Rooney in the women's 800m and men's 400m respectively.
Mo Farah disappointed in the 3000m but Greg Rutherford sealed victory in the long jump, and Kelly Sotherton won her two-day, four-event contest.
Bolt blew away the competition to register a new British all-comers' record at Crystal Palace, leaving second-placed US star Spearmon trailing half a second back at the line.
"Looking to Beijing, I think I have a good chance in the 200m and 100m - I'd love to do both," said the Jamaican.
"I'm still waiting to see what will be going on with that, my coach is making that decision maybe in a week or so."
