Overview by IAAF   EDMONTON STADIUM 
Kentéris produced a storming finish to duplicate his Olympic win of 2000. The Greek was only seventh at halfway as Little entered the straight ahead. While the rest of the field were closely matched, Kentéris (lane 4) came through for a clear win in 20.032. It took several minutes to determine the other medallists from Williams, Crawford and Collins, all of whom were drawn in lanes inside the Greek. Williams (20.195) got the silver and it was judged that Crawford and Collins (20.198 each) shared the bronze. Three other men finished within 0.044 seconds, including Little who set a world best for seventh place.
 These are the official results of the Men's 200 metres event at the 2001 IAAF World Championships in Edmonton, Canada. There were a total number of 52 participating athletes, with seven qualifying heats, four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and the final held on Thursday 9 August 2001 at 21:40h.

Men's 200m Final-200 m h, finale
Konstantinos KEDERIS added the world title to his Olympic 200m crown this evening, with a magnificent demonstration of sprinting strength that left all of his rivals in a desperate, and extremely close, fight for the minor medals.
The Greek's winning time of 20.04 was just one hundredth of a second outside the world leading time for the year that he set yesterday. But it wasn't so much the time as the manner of his victory that was so devastating.
KEDERIS was some two metres down on a line of seven sprinters as all the others came off the bend virtually together, with USA's Kevin LITTLE and Britain's Christian MALCOLM perhaps marginally ahead.
LITTLE, in lane six, had got his usual blistering start, while MALCOLM too ran an excellent bend, in lane five, as did Jamaica's Chris WILLIAMS in lane three. But KEDERIS, in lane four, was just too strong for them all. He blasted off the turn and made up the ground by half way down the straight, moving effortlessly into the lead over the last 50 metres to win with a broad grin by a clear two metre margin.
But if he was the definite winner, the rest of the places were almost impossible to settle, as a line of six dipping sprinters crossed the line virtually together: Kim COLLINS (SKN) in lane one, Shawn CRAWFORD (USA) in two, WILLIAMS in three, MALCOLM in five, LITTLE in six and Stephane BUCKLAND (MRI) in seven. Only Britain's Marlon DEVONISH was out of the frame.
When the officials had finally settled the places WILLIAMS was initially declared the silver medal winner, with CRAWFORD taking the bronze, but these two plus an apparently unlucky COLLINS, in fourth, were all given exactly the same time - 20.20, a national record for the St Kitts and Nevis athlete. Later, however, the results were amended to make CRAWFORD and COLLINS joint bronze medal winners, COLLINS thus winning his country's first ever medal at a World Championships.
MALCOLM, who had tied up in the later stages of the race, was only two hundredths behind them, BUCKLAND two behind him, and LITTLE one hundredth slower again. So just five hundredths of a second separated postions two to seven.

Men's 200m Semi-finals-200 m semi-finales
Konstantinos KEDERIS appears ready to add the World Championship 200m title to the Olympic gold medal he won last year. The Greek produced a national record of 20.03, the fastest time in the world this year, to win heat two of the 200m semi-finals this evening.
KEDERIS ran a strong bend but it was Jamaica's Christopher WILLIAMS who was out of the blocks quickest, and it was he who came into the straight in the lead, marginally ahead of USA's Shawn CRAWFORD. But the Greek looks in fine form and moved easily into first place over the final 50 metres before spreading his arms wide to salute the victory in the last couple of metres. That gesture could have cost him his first ever sub-20 second time.
WILLIAMS ran a season's best of 20.11 in second, with CRAWFORD third in 20.21 and Britain's Marlon DEVONISH fourth in his best of the year, 20.29. A personal best of 20.38 by Italy's Marco TORRIERI, in fifth, wasn't good enough for a final place.
KEDERIS will be favourite for the final tomorrow night, but he won't have it all his own way, for Britain's world indoor silver medallist, Christian MALCOLM, again showed he is also a man in form. MALCOLM, a former world junior champion, posted the second fastest time of the semi-finals, 20.08, his second personal best of the competition, to win the first semi.
Running in lane four in heat one MALCOLM had USA's former world indoor champion Kevin LITTLE two lanes outside him. LITTLE was out of the blocks quickest and ran hard around the turn. But MALCOLM also ran a good bend and the two entered the straight together. For the second day in a row, however, MALCOLM showed he has strength to spare over 200m. He pulled ahead of LITTLE between 120 and 150 metres and held his form to the line. His time is the third best of 2001.
LITTLE held on to second place in a season's best of 20.13, with Stephane BUCKLAND clocking a French national record of 20.15 in third. Kim COLLINS of St Kitts and Nevis took the fourth qualifying spot with 20.26.

Men's 200m quarter-finals
Britain's former world junior champion Chrstian MALCOLM laid down the gauntlet to his rivals in the quarter-finals of the men's 200m this evening, clocking a personal best time of 20.13, the fastest of the round and the third fastest time of the year.
In the absence of 100m champion Maurice GREENE and Olympic 200m bronze medallist Ato BOLDON, the 200m appears to be a very open event, and MALCOLM, already a finallist in the 100m, made his intentions clear in the first heat.
The 22 year-old Welshman blasted from the blocks and ran a superb bend to come into the straight level with US champion Shane CRAWFORD. MALCOLM pulled two metres ahead down the straight and, sure of his victory, eased up over the last five metres. CRAWFORD, with 20.19, ran a season's best behind him, and there were national records for Stephane BUCKLAND of Mauritius, 20.23, in third place, and Joseph BATANGDON of Cameroon, with 20.31, in fourth.
After the race CRAWFORD was treated by medical staff and made his way through the mixed zone with ice packs strapped to both thighs.
Olympic champion Konstantinos KEDERIS also looked strong. The Greek won heat two in 20.30, but he was so far clear of the rest of the field half way down the straight that he practically jogged the last 15 metres. Italy's Marco TORRIERI ran a personal best of 20.43 in second, dipping in front of Britain's Marlon DEVONISH on the line.
The upsets of the round came in heats three and four, where two of the favourites for final places failed to qualify. In heat threee, USA's Ramon CLAY, the fastest man in the world this year, pulled up with less than 50 metres to go when in third place. He did cross the line, but at walking pace and in eighth place, obviously having felt a twinge in his hamstring.
Kim COLLINS, already a 100m finallist here, ran a St Kitts and Nevis national record of 20.25 in second place, one hundredth of a second behind Christopher WILLIAMs of Jamaica.
Britain's Dwain CHAMbers, another 100m finallist, failed to make it to the semi-finals from heat four. He could only finish fifth in a race won by USA's Kevin LITTLE in 20.34, run into a 1.4m/s headwind.

Men's 200m Round 1-200 m hommes, 1er tour
A season's best of 20.25 from Jamaica's three-time 200m champoion Christopher WILLIAMS in the final heat of the first round of the men's 200m this morning was the best of all the quailifiers. behind him, Kim COLLINS of St Kitts and Nevis ran a season's best 20.41 for second place.
There were no major upsets over the seven heats although, as many expected, the former Olympic silver medallist, and the world's second fastest man ever, Frank FREDERICKS of Namibia, did not start.
USA's former world indoor champion Kevin LITTLE posted the second fastest time of the round. Running in heat six, LITTLE ran his usual excellent bend and, aided by a 1.1m/s tailwind, was a good three metres clear with 30 metres left when he began to take his foot off the peddle, cruising home to record 20.36.
Britain's former world junior champion Christian MALCOLM showed that he is carrying no ill effects from competing in four rounds of the 100m as he recorded the third fastest time. Running in heat five, the Olympic fifth-placer ran a strong bend and strode down the home straight ahead of the world's fastest 200m runner this year, Ramon CLAY of USA, to clock a season's best of 20.37 into a 0.6m/s headwind. CLAY, in second also looked comfrortable for his 20.43, the second fastest of the round.
Most impressive of all, however, was the Olympic champion, Konstantinos KEDERIS. Running in heat three, the Greek was out of the blocks fastest and ran an excellent bend to enter the home straight some two metres ahead of the rest. He held his form well down the straight before easing off in the last five metres for 20.46, an excellent time considering the wind was -1.6m/s. Behind him the British champion Marlon DEVONISH clocked a comfortable 20.58 for second.
The other Briton, 100m finallist Dwain CHAMBERS, also qualified but was clearly struggling over the latter stages of heat two, and limped through the mixed zone with an ice pack strapped to his right hamstring. CHAMBERS had a bad start, but ran a swift bend to lead into the straight, only to be overtaken on the run in by Christophe CHEVAL of France, who won the heat in 20.62. CHAMBERS was fourth.
Shawn CRAWFORD (USA), this year's fourth fastest 200m runner, looked an easy winner of heat four, in 20.60. The US champion built up a healthy lead before cruising the last 10 to 15 metres to the line.
