Noah Lyles won his third world gold of the championships here after anchoring the US team to victory in the 4x100m relay on Saturday. After claiming a first individual sprint double since Usain Bolt in 2015, Lyles mirrored the Jamaican legend in running the fourth leg to help his team win in 37.38 seconds. Olympic champions Italy, with Tokyo 100m gold medallist Marcell Jacobs on the second leg, claimed silver in 37.62sec, while Jamaica took bronze (37.76).
“This is the third gold for me here. It’s sensational, amazing. You can’t do better. It’s out of control. I love Team USA because everybody is coming here thinking, ‘I’m going to win’. We’re able to put that into a team effort and then we’re unstoppable,” said Lyles. “The individual races are all business, but the team is fun. We all know we are fast. We don’t have to worry about whether we are going to win. It is just about getting the stick around and trusting each other. It’s fun to do this. I don’t put pressure on myself. Right now, I’m happy, but I’m joyful for life,” he added.
