Although he had a bad start, Noah Liles justified himself as the favorite.
The American sprinter won gold in the 100 meters at the World Championships in Budapest, as he equaled the 15th best time of all time - 9,83.
Lyles celebrated ahead of Lecile Tebogo, who set the Botswana record with 9,88.
The bronze went to Briton Jarnel Hughes (also 9,88), who had the best result of the season to date. Now he has been equaled by Lyles, and surely it hurts him more that the gold goes to the USA...
At 10.000 meters, the gold went to the favorite, Kenyan Joshua Cheptegi (27:51,42). Kenyan Danijel Simiyu Ebenjo (+ 1,18) "stole" the silver, who overtook Selemon Barega from Ethiopia (+ 1,30) in the last meters.
