Noah Lyles pulled ahead of Kenny Bednarek heading into the straightaway then held him off down the stretch to capture his fourth title in a much-awaited 200 meters at the world championships.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone once again broke her own world record, powering over the 400-meter hurdles in 50.37 seconds to defend her Olympic title.

Both make their second Olympic teams and head to Tokyo as the clear favorites to battle for gold.
