Bryan Levell was the highlight of the men’s 200-metre heats as the speedster was dominant in his heat as all three Jamaicans advanced to the semifinals at the Tokyo World Athletics Championships.

Levell was by far the fastest qualifier in the round as he stopped the clock in 19.84 seconds to advance.

Adrian Kerr was third in heat two, as his time of 20.13s saw him snagging the final qualification spot in his heat.

It was a similar story for Christopher Taylor in heat four, as he posted a personal best of 20.26s to finish third and advance to the semifinals.
