U.S. sprinter Noah Lyles added a world record to his extensive résumé Tuesday, topping a field of runners including Australian sensation Gout Gout to set a world-best time of 14.67 seconds in the 150m at the Golden Spike meet.
South Africa's Sinesipho Dambile finished second at 14.78 seconds in a time that also beat the previous world record. Gout finished in third at 14.96 seconds.
Lyles, the reigning Olympic champion in the 100m from the 2024 Paris Games, was in the pack with the race leaders after the turn. But he broke free from the field down the straightaway to secure the victory and the world record.
Dambile and Gout celebrated the accomplishment with Lyles after they crossed the finish line.
The 150m is rarely contested and is not part of the Olympic circuit that features 100m and 200m sprints. The in-between distance is generally reserved for exhibition events and is featured at the annual Golden Spike meet hosted in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Tuesday’s event attracted some of the world’s elite runners, and Lyles beat the best in the world while securing the world-record time.
