Lyles nearly missed the final after easing up in the last stretch of his section, allowing Canada's Aaron Brown and Liberia's Joseph Fahnbulleh, the NCAA champion, to catch him at the line.
A photo finish analysis ensued and after quite some time it was declared Lyles had finished third, a spot out of the two auto-qualifiers. He'd eventually make it through on time.
American Erriyon Knighton, 17, won his semifinal one in 20.02, while Canada's Andre De Grasse took semifinal three in a Canadian-record 19.73 and American Kenny Bednarek made it through in 19.83..
