Bolt dominates 200m in Shanghai Double world record-holder Usain Bolt won on his first Diamond League outing of the season as he breezed through 200m in 19.76 seconds in Shanghai. The Jamaican, who now has the year's two fastest 200m times, finished well clear of American Angelo Taylor. In-form American Carmelita Jeter won the women's 100m with countryman Jeremy Wariner taking the men's 400m. Britain's Michael Bingham came third behind Wariner while Jenny Meadows finished second in the women's 800m. Meadows, who followed her bronze medal in 2009's World Championships with a silver in March's indoor version, was narrowly edged out by Kenya's Janeth Jepkosgei Busienei.  | 606: DEBATE |
