Rio de Janeiro, Aug 18: Fastest man on earth Usain Bolt eased into the finals winning his semi-final race comfortably clocking 19.79 seconds.
Bolt is in his quest og winning his eight overall and third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the men's 200m category.
On Sunday he had won his seventh gold medal in the men's 100m category beating close rival USA's Justin Gatlin.
Surprisingly in the semi-final, two of the heavyweights of the competition Justin Gatlin and Bolt's compatriot Yohan Blake failed qualify for the final as Panama's Alonso Edwards won the race.
As Bolt moves a step ahead to his eights gold medal, fans around the world lauded Bolt for yet another comfortable win.
