Welcome to the ultimate countdown of the top 200 meter races of all time. Prepare to relive the greatest moments in 200 meter sprinting history. From Usain Bolt's record-breaking performance in the 2009 Beijing World Championships, even to Florence Griffin Joyner's iconic 1988 world record. Get ready for an action-packed list. Thank you for watching. Leave a like if you enjoy and comment down below any race you think that we missed. Put that away safely this time and here's the big man. Already up on Edward. Already up on Clark. The rest of the field have been left behind. Fast run by Mullings and Spearman inside him. But here comes the great man. Usain Bolt charging down the straight as best they can. The other men are trying to follow him. Mullings and Spearman. Spearman finishing fast. Bolt fins. There's a world final on the line in the 200 meters. And Knighton is making up ground but Noah Lodge has run another great turn. And if he has the lead, you gotta like his chances. Look at the way that Noah Lyles came into the home straight. Now Knighton's trying to catch Kenny Benerik. Here comes Van Bolley. It's Noah! And he's out quickly with a great 100 meter start that we know he has. Christopher Belcher to his outside. Certainly not hurting him. And Doreem Richards of Alabama who beat him at the SEC Indoor 200 there. But it's all Christian Coleman. This is his meet. This has been his year. Nathaniel Mitchell-Blake coming up on the outside for LSU but he's going to run out of real estate. DeGrasse. Men's 200. And a quick start for Coleman. Look at that as he makes up the stagger already on Andre DeGrasse. Now it's about sustaining that speed coming off the final turn. On this rain-soaked track in Ostrava. DeGrasse trying to close the gap on Coleman. And he will catch him at the line. And now they're free to go. A good start for Jermic Jackson of Youngstown State. But now Bolling starting to use that speed to accelerate some separation from Cooper in second as well. It's Bolling and Cooper your top two. Matthew Bolling well out in front as he comes down the stretch. Oh this is routine for Matthew Bolling. Through the line. James out fast. And that's just going to help Devine Oduduru have a rabbit to chase. Oduduru in the red with black shorts. Flournoy on the inside for LSU. Here comes Oduduru. He's run 20.08 this year. But James is hanging in there. Oduduru. U.S. champion in six. Jackson in seven. In that yellow vest of Jamaica. Vasuli in eight for Germany. But Prandini has blasted off and already has passed Jackson. Well she's better known as a 400 meter runner. Sherika Jackson in Jamaica. In that yellow. Will she come back here at Prandini? The American being closed down. They're way ahead of the moment. It's going to be very tight. The Jamaican's coming. She's getting closer. She's going to get there. And she takes it by a meter. The Navy of battle down in lane three. Then Tamara Clark of Alabama in four. Kayla White and Kennedy Flannel. Kayla White got a fantastic start. Just like her prelim yesterday. She had the fastest qualifying time of all the prelims. And now watch this. 22.96 yesterday. It's going to take that to win it. And at the tape it is. Florida State's a scratch in lane three. Flinch there from Kayla White. But they keep them going quickly. Almost making up the stagger on Kayla White. Sha'Carri Richardson is there. Angie Anellis of USC. Now here comes Richardson. We saw what she did in the 100. We saw what happened in the 400 meter relay. Does she catch her? Six. LSU needs the points. Lance Lang starting in lane three. Gervonta Harding of North Carolina. A&T in four. And bowling is out and Laird is chasing. Harding with a good start there in that first 100 meters. Let's see what Laird can do in the last last bit. Bowling is going to hold him up. Yes. So I'm looking forward to the start of Anellis. She's not off to the to the best start but she is in contention. But look at Sha'Carri Richardson. We know she can finish and she will come off at the top of the lead. And the crowd getting excited. Black of Georgia in three. Maswaghani in five. Laird in six. Laird in seven. Here's Laird in the gold and blue. Here comes Fonboulé. Eating up the track. Can he back catch Laird? He does so. They are gone. Steiner right there in the blue for Kentucky. Ofili right outside of her. Advantage to Steiner on that lane draw. All those last 20 meters in that curve. Steiner did a nice job slingshotting herself into the screen. But here comes Ofili trying to eat up that space. But she's not going to catch her. No way you catch every Steiner at this point. Steiner wins. It's a clean start. Brown got away well towards the inside. But it's Bednarek at the moment. Now Degrasse trying to come through on the inside. Five North Americans. Look at Lyles. But he's trailing at the moment. André Degrasse. Is he finally going to get there? Yes he is. Top three go through. There's Lyles second from the right. And if Lyles second from the outside can be in contention around this turn, which he is. I'm not worried about the second half of this race. That's his strength. Here comes Ariane Knighton though. The 17 year old in the middle of the track. The 17 year old's going to beat the world champ as he eases up. And now they are away. Very good start by Clegg in seven and Liu in five. Zhu playing catch up in lane one. That big gap with Ghilamina. Now out of the race. Liu turning. Clegg is leading. Going into the final straight. It's Libby Clegg for Great Britain. Liu trying to fight back at five. It looks like it's going to be Libby Clegg's night. She's going to do the Xfinity women's 200 meters. You're looking at all in blue. Abby Steiner fourth from the left. The first 50 that she's used to. So she has some work to do. But a very competitive final with a hundred to go. Kayla White looking good there. Third from the right hand side. She's taking the fight. If you're still watching, thank you so very much.
