Usain Bolt beat Justin Gatlin to win the 200m and complete the sprint double at the World Championships in Beijing.
Defending champion Bolt, 29, won in 19.55 seconds, with American Gatlin taking silver in 19.74 in a repeat of Sunday's 100m final.
"There was never a doubt that I would win this one. I'm number one," Jamaican Bolt told BBC Sport after winning his 10th world title.
South Africa's Anaso Jobodwana was third and Briton Zharnel Hughes fifth.
Bolt, who will also compete in the 4x100m relay, added: "It means a lot to me.
"I'm happy to be a 10-time World Championships gold medallist, especially when people have been saying I would lose.
"I had the utmost confidence. As long as my coach is confident, I'm super confident.
"The British people give me a lot of love and I will continue running fast."
Former 200m and 400m world and Olympic champion Johnson, who is working as a pundit for the BBC, said: "Bolt came here and delivered when he's not had the best of seasons."
