Preparing for Usain Bolt’s 200 Meters with Michael Johnson’s 200 World Record: 19.32

Minutes after posting about Michael Johnson’s hilarious facial expression during the Usain Bolt world record 100 meter dash… we come across the actual video - which is a complete gem. Watch. Enjoy. Watch 10 more times. His expressions are as good as Usain Bolt’s last 10 meters of celebration. Awesome:
