Highlights - Gay dominates the 200m
Tyson Gay eased to victory in the 200m in the London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace with a time of 20.00 seconds.
Gay will be hoping to challenge Olympic 100m and 200m champion Usain Bolt at the World Championships next month.
He had seen Bolt win the 100m on Friday but the American looked as impressive as he comfortably claimed the 200m win.
American Wallace Spearmon (20.35) was second with Ireland's Paul Hession third (20.40) and Great Britain's Marlon Devonish fifth in 20.60.
But Gay's performance was the one under scrutiny as he warmed up to defend his 100m and 200m World Championship crowns in Berlin in August.
The 26-year-old is expected to be the closest challenger to the currently all-conquering sprint-king Bolt, who will be aiming to add the world crowns to his Olympic haul.

My groin has been tight on me, I'm trying to take a little Advil (painkillers) to run through the pain

Bolt will have been watching his rival in the 200m and will know he will face a determined challenge from Gay.
Gay powered through the first 100m before easing up but he still left the rest of the field trailing as he showed no ill-affects from a groin problem that has been troubling him.
"I'm feeling okay," said Gay. "I've been trying to keep under the radar, trying to get through this groin situation I have but I should be okay.
"My groin has been tight on me, I'm trying to take a little Advil (painkillers) to run through the pain. I've got to be tough about it. I don't feel it when I run, it's after.
"I'm just taking it one day at a time, it's just frustrating. Any time a sprinter feels any type of nagging pain they get frustrated and the mind has to get strong again.
"I didn't get to warm up like I wanted to because of the situation but I don't think about limping once the gun is shot, I just run.
"The way I slowed down it would definitely have been 19-something (under 20 seconds)."
Gay and Bolt have not raced each other so far this season, although the American has run the fastest 100m in 9.77s and 200m in 19.58s so far this season.
