The men's 200 metres at the 2006 European Athletics Championships were held at the Ullevi on August 9 and August 10. Obikwelu completed the sprinters' double, leading comfortably out of the last curve and continuing all the way to the finish. Wissman took silver in a time level with the national record. Devonish faded in the end and just managed to hold on to third in front of Belgian Kristof Beyens..
