context_page_description: The men's 200 metre race was held for the third time at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. The competition was held from 21 to 23 July 1908. NOCs could enter up to 12 athletes. 43 sprinters from 15 nations competed.
context_section_description: The final was held on 23 July 1908. The top three were within two feet of each other, as Kerr's early lead evaporated in the straight.  He was able to hang onto nine inches, however, and defeated Cloughen by that small margin.
