In Berlin, however, the hour struck for Alex Wilson, who silenced all critics and smiles. In the second half of the 200m in particular, Alex showed his strength. 50m before the finish he was still behind, and fought his way up to third place in the final meters. The finish was so close that video was used to determine places two to four. After waiting for what seemed like minutes, the name Alex Wilson appeared to the cheers of the Swiss fans. And yes, suddenly Wilson was very close to that 20-second mark: 20.04 – national record! This was 10 hundredths of a second faster than what Wilson ran at the Swiss Championship in Zofingen. World champion Ramil Guliyev, who won with 19.76 seconds, was in a class of his own.
