Justin Gatlin fails to advance out of 200 meters semifinals

RIO DE JANEIRO _ Justin Gatlin will not get another crack at Usain Bolt in Thursday's Olympic Games 200-meter final.

Gatlin, second to the Jamaican in Sunday's 100 final, was eliminated in Wednesday's 200 semis.

Gatlin, the twice banned 2004 Olympic 100 champion, was a non-qualifying third in his semi at 20.13.

Bolt advanced edging Canada's Andre deGrasse in the second of three semis _ 19.78 to 19.80.
