Winner Marion Jones (USA) was disqualified by rule 40.8. Felipa Palacios (COL) is Rightful finalist in place of Jones.
McDonald was the fastest in the first two rounds (22.50 and 22.44),
while the doomed Marion Jones looked relaxed and impressive with
22.75 and 22.50 clockings. Jones won her semi-final easily in 22.40 (-
1.4) ahead of Ferguson (22.62). Davis won the other race in friendlier
conditions (0.7) in 22.38, from Jayasinghe (22.45).
Jones powered through the curve in the final, and led by 3m into the
straight. She gained another metre in the second half of the race to win
by 0.44 seconds. Davis just edged Jayasinghe for second by 0.01, while
home favourites Gainsford and Freeman were sixth and seventh.
Jones’s margin of victory was similar to America’s previous 100/200
doublers – Griffith-Joyner (0.38) and Wilma Rudolph (0.45), but less
than Blankers-Koen (0.7 in 1948). That statistic lost all meaning in
2007 when Jones admitted to doping violations going back to before
Sydney. She was swiftly stripped of her title, and in December 2009 the
IOC upgraded all the other finalists, meaning that Davies became, in
retrospect, her country’s first Olympic Champion in athletics.
