200 metres, Women

Date	4 – 6 August 2024
Status	Olympic
Location	Stade de France, Saint-Denis, France
Participants	45 from 29 countries

The event was predicted to be a battle between American Gabby Thomas and Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson, the 2022 and 2023 World Champion, but Jackson was struggling with injuries and withdrew a few days before the start. Julien Alfred (LCA) had just won the 100 metre gold and was also highly considered, as was Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith.

Alfred won the first semi-final in 21.98, while Thomas dominated heat two, running 21.86 to distance Asher-Smith, who came home in 22.31. American Brittany Brown won heat three in 22.12.

The final was run in perfect conditions. Alfred got out fastest but Asher-Smith took the lead halfway through the bend. As the runners approached the straight, Thomas pulled into the lead and then pulled away, winning by ¼ -of-a-second over Alfred, who finished strongly, with Brown taking the bronze medal, just ahead of Asher-Smith.

For Thomas, it was the first of a trifecta at Paris 2024, as she would also win gold medals in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. She was the only athlete with three gold medals in athletics at Paris 2024.
