PARIS - World championship favorite Noah Lyles stormed to the year’s second fastest 200 meters, 19.65 seconds, as he returned to competition at the Paris Diamond League meeting on Saturday.
“When I was coming off the turn it felt like such a fast track, the fastest I’ve ever felt coming off the turn,” said 22-year-old American Lyles who was running for the first time since winning the 200 at July’s U.S. championships.“I blinked and all of a sudden the race was over.” “It’s not about going after Bolt’s record or anything like that,” Lyles said. “But when we get there, we’re willing to go after any record.”
American Kendricks soared 6.00 meters with French world record holder Renaud Lavillenie sixth at 5.60.
