Jobodwana had run 20.72 in 2021, which made him the seventh-quickest in the field.
The 20-year-old made a quick start with his smooth running style, leading the field into the bend, but he was caught in the home straight by Richards and Taymir Burnet of the Netherlands. Munyai's best time this year is 20.49, so he had it all to do to be among the three automatic qualifiers. The top guns in the 200m held their fire in the heats, with the quickest time going to American Kenny Bednarek .
