The legend set a time of 47.33 seconds which has now been beaten by his compatriot, Nickecoy Bramwell.

The 16-year-old was competing at the 51st Carifta Games at the Kirani James Athletics Stadium in Grenada.

And despite being plagued by a number of injury niggles, he broke Bolt's record by running 47.26 seconds.

Bramwell was significantly clear of second place Kemron Mathlyn who produced a time of 47.96, while Eagan Neely in third came in at 48.16.
