Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's 200 metres The women's 200 metres at the 2008 Summer Olympics took place on 19–21 August at the Beijing National Stadium .Allyson Felix , the young American athlete and already a double World champion , entered the 200m race in Beijing as a favorite for the gold. Defending champion Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica also appeared to be in great form, setting a new personal best of 21.94 seconds at the Olympic trials. In the final , Campbell-Brown had the quickest start and made up the stagger very quickly on Allyson Felix, who had been drawn in the lane outside of her. Running a stellar curve and accelerating out of the bend, the Jamaican athlete held her form to cross the line in 21.74 seconds, the fastest time of the decade and a new personal best . Veronica Campbell-Brown, who suffered from injuries that led to disappointment in the 200m in the 2007 World Championships , returned to form to become only the second woman in history to win back-to-back Olympic 200m titles. Allyson Felix was once again relegated to the silver medal in a seasonal best of 21.93, the second-fastest time of her career. Jamaican Kerron Stewart won the bronze medal by just a hundredth of a second. The qualifying standards were 23.00 s and 23.20 s.Records Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows: No new world or Olympic records were set for this event.Results Round 1 Qualification: First 4 in each heat ' and the next 8 fastest ' advance to the [|Round 2].Rank Heat Athlete Country Time Notes 1 2 Muna Lee 22.71 Q 2 2 Muriel Hurtis-Houairi 22.72 Q 3 2 Cydonie Mothersille 22.76 Q, SB 4 4 Roqaya Al-Gassra 22.81 Q 5 6 Nataliya Pyhyda 22.91 Q, =PB 6 6 Sherone Simpson 22.94 Q 7 4 Emily Freeman 22.95 Q 8 2 Yuliya Chermoshanskaya 22.98 DSQ 9 1 Allyson Felix 23.02 Q 10 4 Kerron Stewart 23.03 Q 11 5 Veronica Campbell-Brown 23.04 Q 11 1 Susanthika Jayasinghe 23.04 Q 13 5 Kadiatou Camara 23.06 Q 14 3 Marshevet Hooker 23.07 Q 15 6 Roxana Díaz 23.09 Q 16 6 LaVerne Jones-Ferrette23.12 Q 17 2 Ivet Lalova 23.13 q, SB 18 1 Virgil Hodge 23.14 Q 19 5 Natalia Rusakova 23.21 Q 20 3 Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie 23.22 Q 21 4 Ionela Târlea 23.24 Q 22 1 Aleksandra Fedoriva 23.29 Q 23 3 Oludamola Osayomi 23.31 Q 24 5 Sheniqua Ferguson 23.33 Q 24 4 Darlenis Obregón 23.33 q 26 5 Adrienne Power 23.40 q 27 6 Evelyn dos Santos 23.43 q 28 5 Vincenza Calì 23.44 q 28 4 Guzel Khubbieva 23.44 q 30 6 Allison George 23.45 q 31 1 Inna Eftimova 23.50 q 32 3 Eleni Artymata 23.58 Q, SB 33 6 Marta Jeschke 23.59 34 4 Jade Bailey 23.62 34 3 Sabina Veit 23.62 36 5 Isabel Le Roux 23.67 37 3 Gloria Kemasuode 23.72 38 3 Meritzer Williams 23.83 39 2 Mariely Sánchez 24.05 40 3 Fabienne Feraez 24.07 40 2 Carol Rodríguez 24.07 42 1 Kia Davis 24.31 43 4 Lai Lai Win 24.37 44 1 Kirsten Nieuwendam 24.46 NR 45 6 Gretta Taslakian 25.32 SB 46 5 Samia Yusuf Omar 32.16 1 Vida Anim 2 Kim Gevaert
