BUDAPEST, Hungary — Noah Lyles calls himself the "Told you're not a 100 guy." That didn't stop him. In fact, nobody could at the world championships on Sunday in what has always been his second-best race. Now, he doesn't see anyone slowing his path to becoming the world's next great Olympic sprinter. The 26-year-old American reeled in the field to win the 100-meter world title in 9.83 seconds. That's a victory that puts him in position to be the first man to complete the 100-200 double since Usain Bolt made a habit of it at Olympics and world championships from 2008-16.
