De Grasse runs over 200 meters to gold - Lyles becomes third - big man

Bronze had bronzed the 26-year-old only a few days ago over the 100 meters, over the 200 meter was in 2016 in Rio at least silver - because gold went to the big man, which is now no longer active: Usain Bolt. The Jamaican has after the Italian Lamont Marcell Jacobs, who had triumphed over the 100 meters (over twice the distance but not Antrat), found in De Grasse a second successor that was the first to be the finish line in his actual paraded discipline on Wednesday evening (local time) ran. The Canadian won gold in strong 19.62 seconds (state record) and held the Americans Kenneth Bednarek (19.68), Noah Lyles (19.74) and Erriyon Knighton (19.93) at a distance. For De Grasse it was the first big title.
