In the men's 200m final, Canadian star Andre De Grasse finished second with a wind-aided time of 20.28 seconds (+4.7 m/s), finishing just behind American Elijah Murrow (20.11). De Grasse's time would have been a season's best, but the wind exceeded the legal limit of two metres per second.

Murrow got off to a quick start and held pace the whole way through to upset the reigning Olympic champion, who overtook American Kendal Williams on the last leg of the race to finish behind Murrow.
