After the first 100 meters, the outcome was never in doubt.
At the 100-meter mark of the final, Lyles was already in first, splitting 10.26. No one can match him in the back half of a 200, and at the finish line, the only questions remaining were how fast his time would be and how the race for second and third would shake out.
Erriyon Knighton of the U.S. won silver in 19.75, and Letsile Tebogo of Botswana earned bronze in 19.81. Lyles is at the peak of his powers. Although it’s not unheard of for athletes to do the 100/200 double and win—Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica did it at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo, and Usain Bolt was a double winner in the event at three World Championships—the United States hasn’t had as dominant a sprinter since Justin Gatlin won both at the World Championships in 2005.
For Lyles, racing is only part of the job. He also engages fans with his trademark yell , takes time to sing and joke during interviews, has a new series about his running life on Peacock, and has tried toin the hours before a race. His outfits never disappoint. Heading into the Olympic Games next year in Paris, Lyles is doing everything he can—on and off the track—to keep the spotlight on the sport.
