Jamaican Elaine Thompson-Herah won the 200m at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday, scoring the double three days after the 100m, as in Rio in 2016, with the second fastest time in history (21.53).

She beat Namibian sensation Christine Mboma, 18, who has only been running the 200m for two months, being deprived of the 400m because of the hyperandrogenism regulation.

American Gabrielle Thomas took 3rd place.
