It’s expected to happen, too, as Lyles is the two-time defending 200-meter champion at Worlds. The race will take place in Budapest on Wednesday, where everyone will be waiting to see if Lyles can match Bolt.Great Britain’s Zharnel Hughes But it was a goal of his to win both events, and with the less likely one secured, many believe it’s his time to make his mark on sprinting history this week.
