Lyles seals world double as USA men win sprint relay

Noah Lyles won his second gold of the Tokyo world championships on Sunday after anchoring the USA team to victory in the men's 4x100 metres relay.

Text size:

The American quartet of Christian Coleman, Kenny Bednarek, Courtney Lindsey and Lyles clocked 37.29sec.

Canada bagged silver in 37.55sec, with the Netherlands taking bronze in 37.81.

Lyles only won bronze in the 100m last weekend but then matched Jamaican legend Usain Bolt's record of four consecutive world 200m titles after he convincingly won that event on Friday.

The relay victory handed Lyles an eighth world gold as part of his 10-medal haul.

He is also the reigning Olympic 100m champion and has back-to-back 200m bronzes from the Paris and Tokyo Games.
