Overview by IAAF  1952_olympic_stadium.jpg
Andy Stanfield, the best sprinter on view in Helsinki, was the fastest man in the heats, running 20.9 in the second round. Stanfield with an injured right thigh, was the leader at halfway in the final, with the frenetic Baker just behind, a metre ahead of Bailey, and Gathers a further metre back. Stanfield held form, while Baker tied up, as Gathers passed Bailey 30m from the finish for third place.
Summary by Sports-reference.com
The heavy favorite in this race was Andy Stanfield and he dominated the event. Stanfield had set the first IAAF-recognized world recognized for 200 and 220 yards around a turn with 20.6 for each distance in 1951 and 1952, and had won three AAU titles at this distance. He was fastest in the heats and ran 20.9 in the quarter-finals. In the final he led early, despite an injured thigh, and held on to win over Thane Baker, with Jim Gathers completing a US medal sweep.
