   Make sure to watch it until they stop rolling film (or whatever they call it in these days of digital cinema).

   Wow … what a final: 200m women. Happened only once before in 1988, three atletes finished under 22.00 seconds.

   Dafne Schippers takes 200m world gold beating Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson in photo finish

   Shortly after Dafne Schippers had summoned a performance of raging intensity and sheer bloody-mindedness to reel in Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson, she was so dizzy she had to see a doctor. Everyone else knew how she felt. This was the greatest women’s 200m final in history [video].

   Until the last few desperate strides, when Thompson stumbled just as Schippers went supersonic, it appeared certain that Thompson would be adding another sprint medal to Jamaica’s ledger. But Schippers, the 23-year-old Dutchwoman – who decided only two months ago to ditch the heptathlon for the 100m and 200m – had other ideas.

   The simultaneous dip for the line had the crowd gasping. But it was the times of the medallists that sent jaws crashing to the floor: Schippers 21.63, Thompson 21.66, Veronica Campbell-Brown 21.97.
