Hughes correctly predicts British record 200m run of 19.73secBriton finishes third behind Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo
Someone ask Zharnel Hughes for next week’s lottery numbers. A month after he correctly predicted the exact time he would run when clocking 9.83sec to break Linford Christie’s 100 metres British record, Hughes repeated the trick before shattering John Regis’s 200m mark in front of a sold-out London Stadium.
The number he wrote in his little black book on Sunday morning? 19.73sec. The time he then ran a few hours later when finishing third in the Diamond League race behind America’s world champion Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo, of Botswana? 19.73sec. Not even Mystic Meg was that good.
