Women's 200m Final Schedule

Date: Tuesday, Aug. 6

Time: 3:40 p.m. ET

TV: NBC

Stream: Peacock


Women's 200m Final Field

  • McKenzie Long, USA
  • Jessika Gbai, Ivory Coast
  • Dina Asher-Smith, Great Britain
  • Daryll Neita, Great Britain
  • Brittany Brown, USA
  • Gabrielle Thomas, USA
  • Julien Alfred, Saint Lucia
  • Favour Ofili, Nigeria  

If the semifinals and Olympics as a whole are any indication, the showdown between Thomas and Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred will be one to watch in Tuesday's final.

Thomas posted the best time of the semifinals at 21.86 seconds, easily winning her heat over second-place finisher Dina Asher-Smith (22.31 seconds). Alfred won one of the other heats with a time of 21.98 seconds.

Thomas entered the Paris Olympics with a silver in the women's 4x100m relay and bronze in the women's 200m from the Tokyo Games on her resume. Meanwhile, Alfred has also become a household name during the ongoing Games.

She won the women's 100m gold medal in a loaded field that also included Americans Sha'Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson, who captured silver and bronze, respectively.

It was a historic showing, as Alfred won the first Olympic medal for Saint Lucia in the history of the Games and announced herself to the world as a champion.

Yet she will have to make up some time on Thomas if she is going to win another gold and complete the 100m and 200m sweep.

The frightening thing for the rest of the field is Thomas didn't even seem to break a sweat and put things on cruise control as she finished her semifinal heat. She will surely dial up the intensity and speed even more with a gold on the line.

If she does, it will be her race to win.
