During day four of the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, the Bahamas featured two athletes in competition. Coming off a day when their chances at the podium in the 100 meters ended, Anthonique Strachan and Tynia Gaither tried to qualify in their heats in the 200 meters.

Gaither was coming off a disappointing disqualification in the 100 meters due to a false start. She came out of the blocks in 0.209 and was in fourth coming off the curve to surge into third place with a time of 22.61. That was good enough to advance to the semi-final round with the 13^th best time overall.  She will be in the first of three heats, running again in lane eight.

Things did not go nearly as well for Anthonique Strachan in heat 6. She came out of the blocks fast at 0.114 seconds in lane eight and was leading the heat, but pulled up with an injury at about the 50-meter mark from the finish line. She hobbled to a stop with a left leg injury and failed to advance to the semi-finals.

The next Bahamian athlete in competition will be Shaunae Miller-Uibo. The two-time Olympic Champion will compete in the 400 meters on Wednesday.
