Men's 200m Final | World Athletics Championships Doha 2019

Welcome to the World Athletics Watch Party, join the conversation on Twitter with our hashtag #WatchWorldAthletics.
Noah Lyles earned his first of what will possibly be many global sprint crowns in Doha as he won the world 200m title in 19.83.
The exuberant 22-year-old had indicated his talent by winning the last three Diamond League titles over this distance, and by clocking 19.50 earlier this season, putting him fourth on the all-time list behind world record holder Usain Bolt.
Behind Lyles, Canada’s Rio 2016 silver medallist Andre De Grasse confirmed his return from longstanding hamstring injury problems by taking another silver in 19.95, ahead of the hugely consistent Alex Quinonez, who became Ecuador’s second world medallist following the race walking triumphs of Jefferson Perez.

True about top speed, but i don't think he has the highest of top speeds (for a very high Olympic athlete level) i thini where he stands out is his speed maintenance. He is not going top speed at the end, no one is, everything is slowing down, everyone else just slows down much faster. His ability to maintain high speed is what makes him stand out and 'pull away). Bolt did the same thing but was more able to do it due to his very long leg strides

@@BLACKSTA361 --This had nothing to do with Bolt's record. And it's still early in their careers so I have a wait and see attitude on the records. As far as career success, I'd say they are off to a damn good start.

@Sasha Eltekeh --Well Sasha, you're more gracious and many times more mature than the person that inspired my original post. And I agree with your sentiments, some people take this much too personally and get carried away...A friendly rivalry is always ok. But some of the comments get down right nasty. Like some of the unwarranted remarks about Sha'Carrie Richardson, simply becuz she ran a WL time in 2019 before SAPF and ET eventually eclipsed it. Sha'Carrie was vilified for no other reason. We should all just learn to enjoy, it's only a foot race after all.

I think you r misreading and misinterpriting what the person is saying (i think what he means if you want to be the best and be mentioned with the best then your aim is to topple what the best as done , right now despite the achievements of these new crop of Americans THEY ARE NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 5 OF AMERICANS RIGHT NOW , BUT THEY ARE YOUNG AND MUST GET BETTER TO DO SO , NOT LOOKING UP TO BOLT AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIS GREATNESS IS BIAS , BECAUSE ALL JAMAICANS LOOKED UP TO GREAT AMERICAN ACHIEVERS (MAYBE ONLY EXCEPTION "FLO JO) AND WE ALL KNOW WHY.
