Noah Lyles captured the 100m world title on Sunday, finishing in 9.83 seconds for a victory that reshuffled the deck for next year’s Olympics and cements his status as the world’s No 1 sprinter.
It was a victory that maybe only he and those close to him saw coming. The 200m specialist, who will defend his title in that event later this week, barely qualified for the 100 after battling with Covid in the lead-up to the US nationals last month.
