Michael Johnson (USA) set the 200 Meter Dash World Record at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games with a time of 19.32 seconds.
I believe the record is 19.19 seconds for the 200 meter race and it was set by Usain Bolt in 2009 at the World Championships
That was swimmer Michael Phelps of the United States who set a world record, or was part of a relay team that set a world record, in 7 of the 8 events he won. Those events that Phelps won gold and set world records in were the 400 meter individual medlay, 4x100 freestyle relay, 200 meter freestyle, 200 meter butterfly, 4x200 meter freestyle relay, 200 meter individual medlay, and the 4x100 meter medlay relay. The only event that he did not set a world record in was the 100 meter butterfly and he did set an Olympic record in winning gold in that event.
Of the 13 men's swimming events at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, new world records were set in 12 of them: 100 meter freestyle, 200 meter freestyle, 400 meter freestyle, 1500 meter freestyle, 4x200 meter freestyle relay, 100 meter breaststroke, 200 meter breaststroke, 200 meter butterfly, 100 meter backstroke, 200 meter backstroke, 400 meter individual medley, 4x100 meter medley relay. The only event where a world record was not set was the 100 meter butterfly.
As of the 2008 Games: Men - 100 meter - Michael Phelps, United States, 51.25 set in 2004 200 meter - Michael Phelps, United States, 1:54.04 set in 2004 Women - 100 meter - Inge de Bruijn, Netherlands, 56.61 set in 2000 200 meter - Misty Hyman, United States, 2:05.88 set in 2000
I believe it is 21.87
Wilma Rudolph did not participate in the mile run. She was a sprinter who specialized in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash.
