Usain Bolt set himself a new goal of being knighted by the Queen after completing a sensational world record sprint double in Berlin last night.

Just as he had at the Beijing Olympics, Lightning struck for the second time in four days to add 200 metres gold to his astonishing 100m title.

After chopping 0.11 seconds off his previous mark to win in 19.19sec he targeted a hat-trick of world records in the 4x100m relay – and a knighthood.

“It would be a great thing for Queen Elizabeth to knight me and for me to get the title Sir Usain Bolt,” said the Jamaican, who is 23 today.
