Starting in lane number 8, Elaine Thompson-Herarh was overtaken by the Namibian Beatrice Masilingi (22″27, PB), who signed her personal best over the distance. Exiting at the head of the turn, the double Olympic champion of the 100m and 200m saw his opponent come back in the last 80 meters without consequence for the qualification in the semi-finals but the impression left is not that of his compatriot Shericka Jackson.
The 100m world champion still on her feet

Starting in the 4th series, the reigning world champion Dina Asher-Smith (22″56) was quite easily beaten by the American Tamara Clark (22″27) but secured her place in the semi-finals. Maybe her 100m the day before, where she took 4th place, still has a little in her legs.
Clark’s compatriot, Abby Steiner (22″26) won her series ahead of the Swiss Mujinga Kambundji (22″34) with whom she fought until crossing the finish line.
