Noah Lyles, of the United States, celebrates after winning the gold medal in the Men's 200-metres final during the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Friday, Aug. 25, 2023. - AP
NOAH LYLES came to Budapest - He saw, he conquered and vanquished all his rivals and also set aside aside all those critics who thought he was just all talk.
The American star sprinter said he would win both the sprint titles and did it with some would say with much ease. His stated dream of breaking Usain Bolt's track world record may not quite have come true but Lyles retained his 200m crown from 2019 and last year for a three-peat to add to the 100m title he won last Sunday.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
