Noah LYLES Wins 200 meters with a time of 19.50 in Lausanne 2019.

On an evening of many top performances at the Athletissima meeting in Lausanne, Noah Lyles stole the show as he became the fourth-fastest man in 200m history.

Clocking 19.50 (-0.1m/sec), the American ran the quickest time since the 2012 Olympic final and now sits behind only Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and Michael Johnson on the global all-time rankings.

Powering away off the bend, 21-year-old Lyles improved his previous best by 0.15 of a second for a clear win ahead of Alex Quiñónez with an Ecuadorian record of 19.87 and Canada’s Andre De Grasse and Aaron Brown with 19.92 and 19.95 respectively.

Such was the standard, world champion Ramil Guliyev’s 20.01 only placed him fifth.

“The track here is burning up,” said Lyles. “I’m feeling good here. Me and my coach have been working really hard.

“It was a good, well executed race. It was about getting out strong. There is nothing better than seeing the accomplishments of what you have put in. It’s time for the next race.”
