Noah Lyles Leads Team USA to 4x100 Relay Gold in Budapest

• The USA comfortably won the men's 4x100 relay final at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest
• Noah Lyles, the winner of 100m and 200m gold, was in the anchor leg
• The Americans last won the race in the 2019 showpiece in Doha

The USA men are global 4x100m relay world champions for the first time since 2019. Noah Lyles has now sealed a historic hat-trick of gold medals at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.

The Americans clocked 37.38 seconds to reclaim the title they lost in Eugene last year to the Canadians.

Olympic champions Italy finished second, clocking 37.62 seconds, while the Jamaicans took bronze in 37.76, per World Athletics.

The USA 4x100 men had experienced botched handoffs, disqualification or flat-out defeat by Jamaica, Canada or Great Britain at the last few global competitions.

Lyles now joins a select few athletes to win three gold medals in the same event. Usain Bolt Bolt won all three races at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics. The American won the 100m and 200m final in Budapest, per NBC Sports.

Dominant performance from USA

After Sha'Carri Richardson led the USA women's team to glory in the women's 4x100, they have now won both 4x100m gold medals at the World Athletics Championships for the first time since 2007.

Team USA featured former world 100m champions, Fred Kerley and Christian Coleman. The USA almost botched one baton handoff, but it eventually turned out well for them.

Once Lyles got the baton in the last leg, the win was never in doubt. The Italians, who stunned the world to win the men's 4x100 relay in the Tokyo Olympics, were superb again, but Lyles was not to be denied a third gold medal.
