Usain Bolt's first World Championships medal was silver, won in the men's 200 metres at the 2007 championships in Osaka, Japan.
Bolt finished behind American sprinter Tyson Gay, who won the final in 19.76 seconds. Bolt ran 19.91 seconds for silver, while Wallace Spearmon took bronze. The result was an important step in Bolt's rise from promising young athlete to global sprint star.
This was Bolt's first senior World Championships medal, not his first major international medal of any kind. He had already won gold at the 2002 World Junior Championships and the 2003 World Youth Championships. Bolt later became much more dominant at the senior level, winning 11 World Championships titles between 2009 and 2015.
