Justin Gatlin won the 200 meters in 20.04 seconds at the U.S. championships in
Carson, California, on Sunday.
Tyson Gay finished second in 20.06 seconds with Olympic champion Shawn
Crawford third in 20.12 seconds. Three will be the members of the U.S. team for
August's world championships in Helsinki.
Gatlin, who won the 100m on Saturday, became the first person to win both
sprints at the U.S. championships since 1985.
Crawford was at a disadvantage running from lane nine after slowing up in the
semi-finals and just qualifying.
Olympic silver medallist Bernard Williams crashed out in the semi-finals,
finishing eighth in his race in 20.94 seconds while running the tight curves of
lane one.
