It's time for the heats of the men's 200m and there's two British names in the mix.

Up first is 26-year-old Toby Harries in heat one. Though better known as a member of the 4x400m relay team which won Olympic bronze in Paris, he set a 200m personal best of 20.22 seconds in Clermont (Florida) in April

Zharnel Hughes, who came fourth in this event in 2023, is running in heat four alongside defending champion Noah Lyles. Hughes is the British record holder (19.73) and has a best time of 19.90 in 2025.

He has already competed in the 100m, but couldn't defend his bronze medal as he exited in the semi-finals.

So all three British athletes and all five Americans make it through the women's 200m heats, with semi-finals to come tomorrow and the final on Friday.

Here's the eight fastest qualifiers:

1 - Anavia Battle (USA) – 22.07

2 - Melissa Jefferson-Wooden (USA) – 22.24

3 - Shericka Jackson (Jam) – 22.33

4 - Marie-Josée Ta Lou-Smith (CIV) – 22.39

5 - Dina Asher-Smith (GBR) – 22.40

6 - Brittany Brown (USA) – 22.50

7 - Mckenzie Long (USA) – 22.51

8 - Torrie Lewis (Aus) – 22.56

Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita's times of 22.57 and 22.59 put them in 11th and 12th respectively in the overall standings from the heats.

Great Britain's Amy Hunt speaking to BBC Sport after qualifying for the women's 200m semi-finals: "I tried to do the least work possible. I have got two round of 100m in my legs so I kept it chill.

"I did a lot of my work on the bend so I could chill on the straight.

"It would have been nice to beat Sherika Jackson but I am happy to be back in the 200m. That felt so nice.

"It felt so good to be back - I love this race, I feel like I have a lot more time in it."

I like that a lot. Dina Asher-Smith looked very comfortable.

She is shining a light for sprinting in Europe. Very comfortable indeed.

She will say she likes all of her sprints evenly - of course you always want to do your best in whatever event you are in. But she has so much experience in 200m, she was the World Champion.

I love to see what I am seeing. She will rest well tonight.

Dina Asher-Smith wins the final heat in 22.40 seconds to join British team-mates Daryll Neita and Amy Hunt in Thursday's semi-finals.

Australia's Torrie Lewis is second, with European Team Championships champion Jael Bestue third.

Great Britain's Daryll Neita speaking to BBC Sport after qualifying for the women's 200m semi-finals: "My main goal is to get through the rounds and qualify. I did that today so I can go and recover.

"My legs feel good. It is great to be back out there. I was disappointed about the 100m final but this is what I will focus on now.

"I am going to take that loss as fuel, put it in a box and move on."

Amy Hunt becomes the second British athlete to make the women's 200m semi-finals, coming through second in heat five.

She looks around with about 50m to go and eases off a touch, finishing with a time of 22.57.

Shericka Jackson takes the race with 22.33, while Imke Vervaet of Belgium is third in 22.74.

All the main contenders in the women's pole vault final have cleared the opening height of 4.45 metres without issue.

In the second round, Katie Moon, Sandi Morris, Angelica Moser and Tina Sutej have cleared 4.65m.

2016 bronze medallist Eliza McCartney has had to withdraw with an injury.

Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' was playing in the stadium before the start of the women's 200m heats.

One athlete who appears to have just done that and come back looking ready for more honours is Melissa Jefferson-Wooden.

A super smooth performance from the new world 100m champion, who in the absence of Olympic top two Gabby Thomas and Julien Alfred will be eyeing up a spectacular sprint double here.

In heat four, Great Britain's Daryll Neita gets through to the semi-finals, securing third place. A good run from her, very quick in the first 100m out of the blocks.

Brittany Brown of USA took first place, whilst Anthonique Strachan of Bahamas takes second with a seasonal best of 22.57 seconds.

USA's Melissa Jefferson-Wooden speaking to BBC Sport after winning her 200m heat: "My legs feel like they were getting themselves back on the track. The 200m is a different feel to the 100m so it is about executing and being smart.

"My coach will probably tell me that I have burnt too much energy but I wanted to get a feel for it so that there is nothing foreign to me in the next few days.

"I try to go out and execute every time I go out on the track. That is what I have been doing all year and it has been working."

It doesn't look like this now, of course, with the skies above the stadium pitch-black well into Wednesday evening in Tokyo.

But with the sun shining all day, temperatures breached 35C and it remains incredibly stuffy.

The volunteers continue to work tirelessly to keep us all cool, and those walking around with misting sprays are making sure to have a bit of fun with it.

For those not bothered by the heat, there are plenty of activities to get stuck into outside, including attempting to clock a fast time and reach as tall as the high jump world records.

If you were wondering, it's the misting sprays for me.

McKenzie Long wins heat three in 22.51 seconds to become the fourth American to qualify for the semi-finals.

Ashanti Moore of Jamaica is second in 22.57, with Germany's Sophia Junk third in 22.81.

Surprise surprise, Neeraj Chopra and Julian Weber have qualified for the men's javelin final with their first throws in qualifcation group A.

World champion Chopra managed 84.85 metres, while Weber threw for 87.21m.

The qualifying mark in these heats is 84.50m, or at least the best 12 qualify to the final.

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden cannot run slow nowadays.

She gets good contact early on and has a nice control on the bend.

She has roared through her qualifications and looks very strong and smart. She will be very happy.

Job done by Melissa Jefferson-Wooden of the United States.

The 100m champion takes first place in heat two with a time of 22.24 seconds.

Team-mate Thelma Davies becomes the third American to qualify, coming home second with 22.76, while Jessika Gbai of Ivory Coast is the second athlete from her country to make it through, finishing third in 22.81.

What a smooth start to the heats that was!

In heat one, Anavia Battle of USA claimed first place to secure her spot in the women's 200m semi-finals with a season best of 22.07.

Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith of Ivory Coast comes in second, whilst Polyniki Emmanouilidou of Greece takes the final automatic qualification spot, also with a seasonal best of 22.92.

Remember, the top three in each heat, plus the next six fastest non-automatic qualifiers, will be in the semi-finals.

With the 100 metres done and dusted, Great Britain's sprinting trio go again in the 200m.

Dina Asher-Smith was GB's sole representative in Sunday's 100m final, though she finished in eighth place.

After missing out on Olympic bronze by 0.02 seconds last summer, she'll be desperate to right that wrong in Tokyo.

Amy Hunt set a PB of 22.14 at this year's UK Championships, and says she favours the 200m because "it challenges your speed, endurance and inner strength to stay strong until the end."

Daryll Neita finished fifth at both the last World Championships and Olympics.

With Olympic champion Gabby Thomas not competing in Tokyo because of an ongoing Achilles injury, and Julien Alfred withdrawing with injury days after winning the bronze medal in the 100m final, the women's 200 metres is a wide-open contest.

Newly-crowned world 100m champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who set a championship record in the shorter distance on Sunday, is looking to replicate the sprint double she won at the USA Championships in August.

The 24-year-old ran a PB of 21.84 to win the 200m in Eugene, having only taken the longer sprint seriously this year.

Jamaica's Shericka Jackson will be confident of defending her world title, though.

The 31-year-old is looking to become only the second female athlete to win a hat-trick of world 200m titles, emulating Allyson Felix between 2005 and 2009.

The second fastest woman in history over 200m has bounced back from an injury-riddled 2024 which forced her to withdraw from the Paris Olympics.

But overlook Jefferson-Wooden's American team-mates Anavia Battle, McKenzie Long, and Brittany Brown at your peril.

Battle is quickest in this heat on paper and won four Diamond League races this year, while Long is second quickest in the field for this event with a season’s best of 21.93.

Brown won Olympic bronze last summer and a world silver back in 2019.
