Noah Lyles' bid to win his first ever world title in track and field's indoor men’s 60 meters came up three-hundredths of a second short.
Lyles’ American teammate Christian Coleman won gold at the world indoor track and field Championships Friday in Glasgow, Scotland, running a world-leading time of 6.41.
Coleman’s victory was a bit of redemption. He had lost to Lyles at last month’s U.S. Indoor Championships.
Coleman, who set the indoor 60-meter world record with a time of 6.34 in 2018, led from start to finish in the short sprint. The 27-year-old American stormed out of the blocks quickly and maintained a lead over a fast-charging Lyles, who is known for his acceleration and closing speed.
Lyles finished second with a time of 6.44. Jamacia’s Ackeem Blake came in third, running a 6.46.
Lyles was vying to become the first sprinter to accomplish a set of world titles in the 60 meters, 100 meters and 200 meters since Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won gold in all three events a decade ago. Lyles won the 100 meters, 200 meters and was part of America’s gold-medal winning 4x100-meter relay team at the 2023 track and field world championships.
Lyles and Coleman are expected to be part of a strong U.S. track and field contingent at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Ryan Crouser sets championship record
World-record holder Ryan Crouser won the indoor shot put Friday. Crouser tossed a championship record 74 feet, 8½ inches to win his first ever world indoor title in the event. He won event by over two feet.
Crouser’s won gold medals in the men’s shot put in the past two Olympics. He’s a heavy favorite to win gold again in the men’s shot put at the Paris Olympics.
