Bolt, who burst around the turn at the start, slowed over the last 100 meters and crossed the line easily in 20.64. The top three men in each heat advanced.
Bolt mugged for the cameras before the race, goofing around good naturedly as he had done before winning the 100 final Saturday in 9.69 seconds.
After the race, Bolt declined to speak with reporters. When he saw a television, he took off his gold track spikes and stood in bare feet watching the next 200 heat. Reporters hovered nearby.
As soon as he saw American Wallace Spearmon win his heat in 20.46, Bolt picked up his shoes and disappeared into an athletes' only area. Americans Walter Dix (20.77) and Shawn Crawford (20.61) also advanced.
"I think everybody is shooting to win," Crawford said. "I don't think everybody is shooting for anybody in particular."
