Men’s 200 finalists set sans Gay

While world-champion Tyson Gay was under treatment for a severe cramp in his left hamstring suffered during Saturday’s quarterfinals, 16 others battled for a spot in Sunday’s finals of the men’s 200.

Rodney Martin, fourth at last year’s World Championships, led the semifinalists in 20.04. Shawn Crawford, the 2004 Olympic gold-medalist won his heat in 20.21. Wallace Spearmon, Gay’s teammate when they competed for Arkansas, took second in Martin’s heat, 20.05.
