The men's 200-meter run at the 2001 World Athletics Championships was held from August 7th to 9th, 2001 at the Commonwealth Stadium in the Canadian city of Edmonton .
The Greek Olympic champion in 2000 Konstantinos Kenteris became world champion . He won ahead of the Jamaican Christopher Williams , who had previously won medals with two seasons of his country: Olympic Games 2000: bronze ( 4 × 400 m ) / Pan American Games 1999 : silver ( 4 × 100 m ). Here in Edmonton, too, he won bronze over 4 × 400 m. In third place, two sprinters crossed the finish line together at the same time: Kim Collins from St. Kitts and Nevis and the American Shawn Crawford .

doping
There were two doping cases in this competition.
- The Frenchman Christophe Cheval , who was eliminated in the quarter-finals, tested positive for nandrolone twice . His results at these world championships - also with his country's 4 x 100 meter relay - were canceled and received a two-year ban.
- The American Ramon Clay , also eliminated in the quarterfinals, was proven to have used steroids for the period from 2000 to 2005 . All his results from this period were annulled and received a two-year ban after he had already retired from active competitive sports.
Two sprinters suffered whose performance would have entitled them to participate in the quarter-finals:
- André da Silva , Brazil - Eligibility for his fourth place in the second run
- Eric Pacome N'Dri , Ivory Coast - Eligible over his time of 20.87 s in the seventh run-up
Preliminary round
The preliminary round was carried out in seven runs. The first four athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the four fastest runners - highlighted in light green - qualified for the quarter-finals.
