Noah Lyles gave an outstanding performance in the men's 4x100m final, anchoring the United States to the gold medal and ending the championship with three gold medals in Budapest.

Noah Lyles accomplished his mission of winning three gold medals at the World Championships in Budapest, by anchoring Team USA to a world-leading time of 37.38s for the men's 4x100m gold medal.

The USA team comprised Christian Coleman, Fred Kerley, Brandon Carnes, and Lyles bringing it to the finish line, were outstanding in their baton exchanges, which gave them the win.

Olympic champions Italy settled for the silver medal in 37.62s, and Jamaica edged Great Britain for the bronze medal in 37.76s.

Lyles's awe-inspiring treble of 100m, 200m, and 4x100m gold medals makes him the first American to win three gold medals at a World Championships since Tyson Gay and Allyson Felix in 2007.
