Title. Lyles wins his 4th consecutive WC gold in the 200m. Fantastic streak. Bolt also won 4 consecutive golds (as well as a silver in 2007)

Hugely impressive. Especially after having a fairly average build into this season.
Does make you wonder what went wrong in 2021 and 2024 games, because he is otherwise so consistent and unbeatable in the 200m.

2021 was probably nerves. 2024 was sickness and the 100.
But what about Olympic gold? 🧐

...or 7 straight double golds at Global championships except for the DQ in 2011 100M and double WRs that still stand. Lyles is really good, but he isn't in the same conversation as Bolt.
It’s amazing how all he needed to run was a very hearty 19.5 in the semis for everyone to think 19.1 was in his wheelhouse. I thought Levell based on his 19.8 cruising would get him a 19.4. Way off! 19.19 is just an absolutely brutally insane time.
World Champs Doubles Winners past 20 years. Time gap to 2nd place.
