Nice run, don't cut the corners - winner dq'd here
Dmytro Ostrovsky finished so strong yet back on the turn
obviously ran on or over the line (they checked the video)
Nitt marek on the right moved up officially for the win

Dmytro Ostrovsky of Ukraine, running in lane five, was out with the leaders and had a small lead only to get passed entering the straight by Brian Barnett of Canada, running in lane six. However, Ostrovsky retook the lead midway down the straightaway and went on to win in 20.89, into a 1.1 meter per second wind. Barnett faded just slightly, allowing Marek Niit to get up for second, 20.96 to 21.00. Alexander Nelson of Great Britain was fourth in 21.14. Ostrovsky was later disqualified for running inside his lane for three consecutive steps giving Niit the gold medal.
