Jamaica's Usain Bolt snatched victory in the 200m at the Diamond League meet in Shanghai today with a time of 19.76secs, his second win in as many races this season, beating Angelo Taylor, the American who finished in 20.34 seconds. "The feeling was good but it was not easy," Bolt said. "I enjoyed it." The win builds on an excellent start to Bolt's season that began with a year's best 9.86secs win in the 100m on Wednesday at Daegu in South Korea. Earlier in the Shanghai meet, Carmelita Jeter of the United States claimed victory in the women's 100m with a time of 11.09secs.
