19.19 Seconds

Usain Bolt is still fast. A few days removed from shattering the 100-meter world record in a ridiculous 9.58 seconds, Bolt ran 200 meters in an equally ridiculous 19.19 seconds, another world record and just three-tenths of a second off his 100-meter pace. Double the meters; double the time, basically, just like a machine. Most humans run out of steam the farther and faster they run. Not so with Bolt. The man, if you can call him that at this point, seemingly has no problem maintaining world-record speed over long distances. I seriously wouldn't be surprised if, later this week, he dashed off 300 meters in under 29 seconds.
