2023 World Athletics Championships – Women's 200 metres

Ta Lou had to get one of the time qualifying spots and was relegated to lane 2 in the final.

In the final, the staggers mostly held true halfway through the turn, then Jackson began to edge forward with Dina Asher-Smith and Gabrielle Thomas showing a slight advantage.

As they reached the straightaway, Jackson had a clear 2 metre lead with Thomas just barely ahead of Richardson, Asher-Smith, Julien Alfred and Daryll Neita.

Thomas followed 4 metres later, a step ahead of now double medalist at these championships, Richardson.
