World Athletics Championships: Noah Lyles storms to 200m world title in new US record
Noah Lyles defended his world 200m title in emphatic fashion, beating Kenny Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton in another American clean sweep.But Lyles was in a class of his own, running an exceptional bend before powering home 19.31 seconds.
The 25-year-old revved up the Eugene crowd before taking to his blocks, left Bednarek and Knighton in his wake and then paraded round the track, race suit torn in celebration and gold medal held aloft, to take the acclaim. The race was an hotly-anticipated finale to the seventh day of action. Lyles and Knighton, once apparently close, had crossed paths and words on the same track last month.
