Christian Coleman leaves current and former champion behind

The world was laced up to congratulate Noah Lyles for yet another victory. Everyone was ready to see Lyles hoist the American flag with another gold medal to end his season. However, Christian Coleman had other plans.

The Xiamen Diamond League champion sprinted toward the finish line and trounced the Zurich Diamond League champion. Coleman had posted a time of 9.83 seconds at Xiamen, which equals Lyles? personal best as well. But, Coleman was already ahead of Lyles in terms of a personal best time with 9.76 seconds. While Lyles fell just 0.02 seconds short of his personal best, it resulted in a reverse alchemy and cost him his gold.

Coleman repeated a 9.83-second run to win the final leg of the Wanda Diamond League. In fact, his explosive performance also dethroned the greatest sprinter of all time, Usain Bolt. The Jamaican had finished his final Diamond League meet with a golden victory of 9.95 seconds.

Although Bolt?s fastest time still remains untouched, Coleman surpassed Bolt’s Diamond league victory. The competition on home soil was right at the heel of Noah Lyles. While the 6x world champ remained elusive for a long time, the competition finally caught up to him before his victory parade.

Noah Lyles finally meets his match at Eugene Diamond League

Noah Lyles enjoyed an invincible season in 2023. The 26-year-old had decided to end his season after his Zurich appearance. However, Lyles surprised everyone and decided to enter the Prefontaine Classic.

While Lyles had already won at Eugene during the 2022 WAC, things took a sour turn for him this time. Fellow American sprinter Erriyon Knighton had already come too close for Lyles? comfort, but Coleman defeated Lyles in the competition.

Prior to the Prefontaine Classic, Lyles had said in an interview,??It doesn?t matter if you win or lose now because you already won world championships.??
