US Olympic Trials: Noah Lyles shatters Michael Johnson's 28-year-old record to win 200m final
The trio of Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek, and Erriyon Knighton will represent the USA in the men's 200m event at the Paris Olympics.
By doing this, the 26-year-old has ran 40 sub-20s wind-legal 200m times in his career, six more than the great Usain Bolt. In addition, he extended his unbeaten run in the event as his last defeat came at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic final, where he won the bronze medal.
Following his remarkable performance, Lyles confidently declared he's defeating everyone in Paris and each country should bring their best athlete.

"I want all the smoke. I want everybody to send their best seater because you're gonna lose your best man," said the reigning world 100m champion in response to the fast times dropped at the Jamaican Trials.
Kishane Thompson blazed to the Jamaican 100m title in a jaw-dropping Personal Best (PB) of 9.77s (the joint-ninth fastest time in history), ahead of Oblique Seville in 9.82s (both times faster than Lyles's US title-winning PB of 9.83s), while Ackeem Blake was third in 9.92s.

Noah Lyles sends a 'friendly message' to his rivals following the jaw-dropping performances at Jamaica Olympic Trials
World 100m champion Noah Lyles has extended an olive branch to his rivals following the record-breaking performances at the Jamaican Olympic trials.
Their outstanding performances made more room for the men's 100m event to be widely unpredictable on the potential medallists in Paris, which Lyles isn't afraid of in his quest to become the double sprints Olympic champion.
"My girlfriend said I'm beating everybody, so I'm going to listen to my girlfriend and beat everybody," he concluded in an exclusive interview with @kxnaomi.
Lyles has an ambitious goal of being crowned USA's first Olympic 100m champion since Justin Gatlin won the title at Athens 2004, while also adding the 200m title.
If he succeeds, he'll become the third American sprinter in history to achieve such a feat behind the legendary Florence Griffith-Joyner and Carl Lewis.
