Context

Background

Usain Bolt's ranked men's 200 m time is 19.19 seconds at Berlin on 20 August 2009, wind -0.3 m/s. World Athletics, Athletic Stats (refreshed 5 October 2026) and Track & Field News print that time and date.

The list is one event. A mark from another distance is a different page, with its own slug. Wind above +2.0 m/s is not legal and is not stored. Lower is faster.

Checked 8 October 2026.
