How Coleman beat Noah Lyles

Coleman made a terrific start from the blocks and took an early lead that he would not relinquish. Lyles was behind Blake at the start but came to pass the Jamaican towards the end. The 27-year-old won the world title in 2018 in the UK.

Coleman has got his revenge for the defeat in the national championships, but it is just the start of the 2024 season.

It was a phenomenal race that lived up to the expectations. The biggest surprise was Omanyala, who looked great in the first round and the semis.

His wait for a global medal continues. He has a chance to redeem himself at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
