There was double world sprint joy for Noah Lyles in Budapest on Friday, Aug. 25, while the second fastest women's 200m run in history saw Shericka Jackson dash Sha'Carri Richardson's hopes of also achieving the 100/200m sweep.
USA's Noah Lyles celebrates after winning the men's 200m final during the World Athletics Championships at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on Friday, Aug. 25.
"I wanted to show I am different. Today I came out and showed it," said Lyles, who is the fourth American to do the double. "I feel like I am a living testimony that you can create something if you really want it and never give up," said Jackson, who only switched to 100/200m from 400m in 2021."As for the world record -- I'm close, I'm close, I'm getting there."Lyles was not the only athlete to win a fourth individual title on the night, although Yulia Rojas left it to her last jump in the women's triple jump.
This time she had the consolation of winning her war-afflicted country's first medal of the championships."The fact that I won the competition with my last attempt makes it very special and memorable." The Olympic champion then almost came to grief going out for the second lap as South Africa's Prudence Sekgodiso clipped her heels.

In Venezuela, women left 'mutilated' by butt liftsCARACAS: Maria Sanchez walks slowly through her house in the Venezuelan capital with two surgical drainage bags hanging from her waist — the nightmare result of her search for the perfect derriere.Almost a decade ago she underwent a backside-enhancing procedure, the kind that has soared in popularity as women crave a figure popularized by celebrities like Jennifer Lopez or Kim Kardashian.'I was mutilated,' the 50-year-old tells AFP, but 'I had to assume the consequences.'In 2006, she was injected with what is known as a biopolymer, a term commonly used to refer to naturally derived products, but which also encompasses synthetic fillers made from silicone or even paraffin.Sanchez now has a scar running across her lower back as a painful reminder of the reconstruction surgery in which doctors managed to extract 90 percent of the filler.The fillers, seen as a cheaper and less invasive alternative to fat grafting, are injected and expand inside the body.Their use was banned in Venezuela in 2012 after years of massive commercialization in outpatient clinics but also in hair salons and even in doctors' offices.Recognition of their toxicity is growing.Neighboring Colombia on Tuesday enacted a law imposing two- to 10-year jail terms on those who inject biopolymers in consumers as well as fines up to US$70,000.
