It was more of the same for Usain Bolt.

After his impressive photo-finish victory over America’s Justin Gatlin this weekend, Jamaica’s Bolt topped Galtin again, taking gold in the 200M at the World Championships Thursday in Beijing.

Bolt sprinted to the finish in 19.55 seconds, the world’s fastest time this year, with Gatlin finishing in 19.74.

It was Bolt’s 10th World Championship gold medal.

South Africa’s Anaso Jobodwana took home the bronze in 19.87 seconds, a national record for South Africa.
