Another American sprint sweep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
sweep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Bernard Williams second and 100 champion Justin Gatlin third. sweep overall and also the first since Carl Lewis-Kirk Baptise-Thomas Jefferson in 1984.
Now Crawford is going to be noted for something other than defeating a giraffe and losing to a zebra inside a television foot race stunt.
Coming from the turn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he lengthened his lead to finish in 19.79 seconds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a personal best and the top duration of 2004, with Williams (20.01) passing a tiring Gatlin (20.03) within the final strides.
"My dad always explained the easiest method to achieve attention will be No. 1 and win,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Crawford,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who had been fourth within the 100 last weekend. "That is a good way to get attention without the negativity that comes with wearing your hat backwards or putting on glasses or putting on a nose and mouth mask stuff that I've been known to do."
The largest problem for Crawford in getting to the finish line was obtaining the race started. The 75,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 fans organized the start for around seven minutes with their booing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whistling and chanting of 'Hellas!' (Greece) and 'Kenteris!' despite announcements to be quiet for that start.
They were expressing their displeasure that countryman and defending Olympic 200 champ, Kostas Kenteris,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who trains in Athens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wasn't within the race. Kenteris withdrew from the Games the day before the opening ceremony as a result of drug-testing controversy. runners also appeared to stoke their anger.
The race didn't go off until the runners' third time into the blocks, after being delayed because of the noise and a false start.
"It felt like Showtime in the Apollo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if they are booing and there's nothing that you can do about this," said Williams.
"It was fun for me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
By Romeo Gacad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], AFP Bernard Williams gives the thumbs as Shawn Crawford,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], left,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Justin Gatlin celebrate following the USA's 1-2-3 sweep in the 200 meters.
Crawford and Gatlin have been warned this type of demonstration might happen by their coach Trevor Graham. He heard fans talking of disruptions when he rode a subway to the track,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"We remained poised and focused,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Crawford said.
It was the second time crowd noise caused an extended delay within an event here. On Monday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everyone else at men's gymnastics complained so long and loudly that judges actually changed the scores of Russian Alexei Nemov to make them slightly higher.
After the sweep, the trio knelt for any prayer and also to remind each to create a dignified victory lap.
"When I picked that up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the entire audience reaction changed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Gatlin said. "They were showing us some love."
