☆ Lyles races to third 200m world title after some serious self-reflection
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Lori Ewing | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Aug 25, 2023; Budapest, Hungary; Noah Lyles (USA) poses for photographs after winning the mens 200m race during the 2023 World Athletics Championships at National Athletics Centre. Armed with a new mindset, the 26-year-old on Friday stormed to his third consecutive 200m title at the World Championships and, after his victory in the 100m five days earlier, became the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to win the sprint double. "I remember when I won my first World Championships, and I ran 19.8, I couldn't watch that race for months because I felt so disappointed in myself. I did it young, it was a great field and it was a hard World Championships. Now I look back at World Championships not for the times, but for what I had to go through to get to the win."

☆ Lyles takes next step towards sprint double
  + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Mitch Phillips | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The 26-year-old boldly predicted he would run 19.10 in the 200, which would break Usain Bolt's 2009 world record of 19.19, though that long shot would only conceivably come in Friday's final. Lyles was ill with Covid ahead of last month's U.S. trials. "I try to make all my races look as easy as possible, even if they aren't," said Lyles, who is seeking to become the first man to do the sprint double since Bolt in 2015. The 19-year-old Knighton has a personal best of 19.49 - second fastest in the field - and season's best of 19.72. "Noah Lyles will attack the world record, and maybe, if I push him hard, he could set it."
