Fastest 200m:

“It feels great because I’ve been waiting to come out and dominate America since I took the stage.”

Liles’ 19.31 was the third-fastest time in history, after only Usain Bolt’s 19.19 in 2009 and another Jamaican’s 19.26 two years later by Johann Blake, while he was briefly propelling Bolt to dominance.

Medals:

1 Bronze

Just as they did in the 100 meters, the United States swept the medals in the 200: behind Lyles was Kenny Bednarek in 19.77 seconds, and 18-year-old sensation Erriyon Knighton in 19.80 seconds.

200m splits:

Jamaica’s women again asserted their short-distance dominance, with Shericka Jackson winning gold in a stunning 21.45 seconds and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce silver in 21.81 in the women’s 200; Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, the defending champion, ran to bronze in 22.02.

Jackson’s time makes her the fastest living woman on Earth — only the late Florence Griffith-Joyner, who ran a 21.34 in 1988, has ever run faster.

200m High School:

His parents Keisha Caine and Kevin Lyles competed in track and field at Seton Hall University. He attended T. C. Williams High School (now Alexandria City High School) in Alexandria, Virginia.

The 25-year-old Lyles was the defending World champion but at the Tokyo Olympics last summer was disappointed to finish as bronze medalist; he has since revealed that he ran with a swelling in his knee, bad enough to affect him but not so bad that he couldn’t race.
