The British 200m record holder printed in a straight 200m on the Adidas Atlanta City Games

Zharnel Hughes put down a marker after the victory of the security of more than 200 meters with a wind -supported 19.55 (2.2) on the Adidas Atlanta City Games (17 May).

The 29r-Old, which owns the British record with 19.73, went well under SLA Mark, but his time was just over the legal limit of 2m/sec. Jerem Richards came in second with 19.63 and Wayde van Niekerk finished third in 20.03.

It is also worth noting that the performance of Hughes was on a unique tailor -made increased straight 200m track. The Brit has a season of 20.13 on a traditional 200m track, which I remembered during his third place about the judge during the recent Grand Slam track meeting in Miami.

One of the other striking versions in the Adidas Atlanta City Games came from Gunst Ofili, who put a world the best of 15.85 (2.0) in the ladies 150m. The previous figure was the 16.23 of Shaunae Miller-Hubo in 2018.

Keni Harrison, with 12.30, defeated Tia Jones and Grace Stark, with the duo both 12.36 bells for 100m hurdles. Alison Dos Santos, behind the back of Triumphing on Grand Slam Track Miami, won the 200m hurdles with 21.85 (1.5).
