The sixth day of athletics at the Tokyo Olympics takes place on Wednesday. AFP Sport looks at five stand-out events:
World champion Noah Lyles won t be taking any more chances after he survived a finish-line gaffe to qualify for the 200 metres final.
The 24-year-old slowed up with 10 metres of his semi left and was overtaken at the line by Canada s Aaron Brown and Liberian Joseph Fahnbulleh, all three credited with 19.99sec.
It meant Lyles didn t qualify automatically as one of the first two finishers, and instead had an anxious wait as the third and final semi went ahead.
