American Noah Lyles is the world’s new fastest man winning the world championship gold in the 100m, while Australian Rohan Browning finished fourth in his semi-final.
American Noah Lyles talked big before the world championships about his place in history. Like Mohammad Ali predicting his knockout round, Lyles even declared how many gold medals he would win at this event and forecast the times he’d do it in.
“I will run 9.65, 19.10,” he wrote in an Instagram post hashtagged Budapest2023, predicting his times in the 100m and 200m.He wasn’t out by much but, as always, it was a race of small margins. The next three men behind him at the line all recorded the same time to two decimal places.Letsile Tebogo of Botswana, Zharnel Hughes of Great Britain and Jamaica’s Oblique Seville all ran 9.88s. Tebogo was given the silver and Hughes the bronze split by thousandths of a second.
“I am just really disappointed. I definitely felt like I was in shape to run a lot better. I felt like I had 60 metres of really good race,” Browning said. His run of 10.11s was bang on his average performance this year, so delivering consistently is not his issue. His challenge now is to break away from what he can consistently achieve and find a new level of performance.
