Overview by IAAF    EDMONTON STADIUM
Marion Jones finally won a world 200m title, but was not as convincing as had been expected before the championships. After the semis it looked as if Ferguson might just upset Jones as Zhanna PintusevichBlock had in the 100m. Off the bend, the Bahamaian was within striking distance, but Jones stayed in front and instead it was Ferguson who came under pressure from White, who had the fastest finish of all. As detailed under reports of the 2001 and 2003 100 metres, both White, then Jones were retroactively disqualified after each admitted doping violations going back to 2000. For Jones was the dubious distinction of winning the earliest women’s World Championship gold to be then disqualified. She initially claimed her 200m title in Edmonton just one day before that of the guilty Russian discus thrower Natalia Sadova.
 These are the official results of the Women's 200 metres event at the 2001 IAAF World Championships in Edmonton, Canada.
 
  200m 10 August -0.8
Women's 200m Final-200 m femmes finale
Marion JONES (USA) bounced back from her disappointing result in the 100m final, Monday, by winning the women's 200m final in 22:39 seconds. JONES beat Debbie FERGUSON (BAH), (22.52) and fellow American Kelli WHITE, third in 22.56.
Again, the popular American sprinter didn't look anything close to her best, holding a narrow lead into the home straight, which she struggled to hold. With fifty metres remaining her head went back, her stride shortened and there was fear amongst the supportive crowd that Ferguson might catch her. Fortunately, she arrived at the finish line with a metre to spare.
In Seville she experienced back spasms during the 200m semi-final and collapsed to the track. Her victory here must be some atonement for that experience.
In the absence of Zhanna PINTUSEVICH-BLOCK, the Ukrainian 100m gold medallist, and the poor fitness level of defending champion, Inge MILLER (USA), who failed to make the final, this really was JONES' race to lose.

Women's 200m semi-finals
The Bahamas' Pan American Games champion, Debbie FERGUSON, looks ready to give Olympic champion Marion JONES a run for her money in the final of the 200m tomorrow. FERGUSON won heat three in a season's best 22.39, the fastest time of the round.
FERGUSON, who anchored the Bahamas's 4x100m relay squad to Olympic and World Championship golds, got an excellent start and flew round the bend ahead of USA's Kellie WHITE, who was running a personal best of 22.54 to qualify automatically in second place.
Neither Mary ONYALI-OMAGBEMI of Nigeria, in third, nor reigning champion Inger MILLER of USA, in fourth, were fast enough to claim the two fastest loser's places, despite running season's bests, 22.80 and 22.82 respectively. Those both came from heat two, won by Cameroon's Myriam MANI in a season's best of 22.59, from USA's LaTasha JENKINS. JENKINS had the same time as third-placer Cydonie MOTHERSILL of the Cayman Islands, 22.63, while Alenka BIKAR ran a national Slovenian record of 22.76 to qualify from fourth place.
JONES, of course, qualified more easily, running the second fastest time of the three semi-finals, 22.40, although she didn't look her usual smooth and dominant self. JONES, who shockingly lost the 100m final on Monday night, said before the championships that the 200m was her most important event here.
Running in lane three, JONES was out of the blocks quickly and came off the bend as the clear leader. She stretched that advantage down the straight but appeared to be working hard over the last 50 metres. Jamaica's Juliet CAMPBELL was some three metres behind her at the line, in 22.68. Damayanthi DARSHA of Sri Lanka, in third, equalled the 22.88 season's best she set yesterday in the heats, but was not quick enough to qualify.

Women's 200m Round 1
Olympic champion Marion JONES returned to the track this evening after the biggest disappointment of her career, and proved that she is none the worse for wear after losing the final of the 100m two days ago. JONES clocked 22.70 - more than a second slower than her personal best - to win comfortably heat three of the women's 200m quarter finals.
JONES's wasn't the fastest time of the round, however. That came in the last of the five heats, when Cydonie MOTHERSILL of the Cayman ISLANDS equalled her own national record of 22.54 ahead of Jamaica's world indoor champion Juliet CAMPBELL, who ran 22.88. The reigning world champion Inger MILLER of USA was fourth in this heat in 22.98, guaranteeing her place in tomorrow's semi-finals with her best time of the year.
The other two Americans, Kellie WHITE and LaTasha JENKINS won their heats in 22.65 and 22.82 respectively, while Sri Lanka's Asian record holder Damayanthi DHARSHA won heat one in a season's best of 22.88. The other Sri Lankan, Olympic bronze medallist Susanthike JAYASINGHE, suprisingly did not make it to the next round as she could only finish fifth in heat two in 23.10. In this heat there were season's bests of 22.73 for Jamaica's world silver medallist Beverly MCDONALD, and of 22.91 for Senegal's Aida DIOP, both of whom qualified.
In heat three, Louise AYETOTCHE of the Ivory Coast ran a season's best of 23.15 to qualify in fourth, one place behind the national record-setting Irishwoman Sarah REILLY, who clocked 23.02. There was also season's best in heat four for Mary ONYALI of Nigeria, 22.87 in third, while Johanna MANNINEN of Finland set a new personal best of 22.93 to qualify in fourth.
