Lyles Retakes World Lead
Monaco, Diamond League August 14
Noah Lyles re-took the world leader in the Men’s 200m. Lyles stormed away to a convincing win at the Monaco Diamond League in a season lead of 19.76 (0.7). Lyles, who had run 19.94 on 25 July but lost the season, lead to fellow American Kenny Bednarek, who had clocked 19.80 on August 10 in Florida.
The 23-year-old Lyles is the 2019 World Champion. And has a PB of 19.50. The 4th fastest ever behind Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, and Michael Johnson. Lyles also holds the meet record at 19.65 from 2018, having the prestige of breaking a legendary Usain Bolt record.
At the start of the race, with a black glove and his hand raised in the air, Lyles paid respect to the 1968 Olympic 200m Champion Tommie Smith and John Carlos. In strong support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Of course, the great Tommie Smith was the first man to break 20 seconds in 200m with a 19.83 run.
Lyles showed just how great a runner he was as he led a very high-quality field off the bend and nearly tripled in a margin of victory the last 60-70m. Lyles has shown he has magnificent top-end speed, having run 9.93 so far this year. He even runs a good 300m when the need arises.
It was a complete family affair with his younger brother Josephus Lyles his younger brother, by just one year in second in 20.30. Just .06 seconds outside his personal best. The Lyles brothers took some big scalps.
Surprisingly it was Dennis Almas of Germany who helped himself to third place with a PB of 20.64. Improving on his 20.88 last month. Adam Gemili of Great Britain and Turkey’s Ramil Guliyev, the 2017 World Champion in 200m, had a strong start but faded out of the picture down the home straight.

18.90 but denied a world record – Inspirational Games Diamond League
American Noah Lyles was denied a new 200 meters world record in the Inspiration Games after it was revealed he ran only 185m.
For a brief moment, it certainly looked like American sprinter Lyles had made history at the 2020 Inspiration Games. His time in the 200-meter race was 18.90 seconds, a full 0.21 seconds faster than the world record that sprinting legend Usain Bolt set at the World Championships in 2009, where he’d surpassed his previous world record set in 2008 by 0.11 seconds.
But even before the truth came out, the result looked too good to be true for Lyles. Broadcaster Steve Cram, who set a few records himself in the 1980s, was heard incredulously saying, “That cannot be right! That cannot be right!” after it went down.
The 22-year-old’s time of 18.90 seconds would have usurped the 19.19-second mark set by Jamaican great Usain Bolt in 2009.
Lyles set the time racing alone against competitors simultaneously sprinting on tracks in Europe. Given his personal best is 19.50, and immediately challenged the time.
World champion Lyles later tweeted: “You can’t be playing with my emotions like this….Got me in the wrong lane smh.”
COVID Modifications
It was interesting due to COVID Restrictions; races were confined to single athletes. Running on different tracks around the world.
There were only 3 men in the Men’s Pole Vault. With Sam Kendricks (USA) winning with a 5.81m jump.
Sandi Morris (USA) won the Women’s Pole Vault in 4.66m from Angela Bengston (SWE) 4.46m. Again only 3 entries.
In Triple Jump, Pedro Pichardo (POR) beat the Great Christian Taylor (USA) 17.40m to 17.27m.
Alyson Felix (USA) won the 150m in 16.81. From Shaunae Miller (BAH) 17.15.
Andre De Grasse of Canada took the 100 Yards in 9.30 into a powerful -3.4 headwind to beat French Man Jimmy Vicaut 9.43.
