Yohan Blake upstaged Jamaican team-mate Usain Bolt by running the second fastest 200 metres of all time at the Diamond League meeting in Brussels.
Blake, who won the 100 metres title at the world championships in Daegu, scorched to victory in 19.26 seconds, a time only ever bettered by 0.07s by world record holder Bolt.
"I was looking for this and I got it. I expected to run fast but not this fast. The last 40 metres was crazy, but I'm like a beast when that happens. I just take control of the track."
