Noah Lyles has accomplished something no American has done in more than a decade.

Lyles achieved the coveted 100-200 sprint double at the track and field world championships. The U.S. sprinter won the men’s 200-meter final with a winning-time of 19.52. It’s Lyles’ third consecutive world championship in the men’s 200-meters.

Lyles’ American teammate, Erriyon Knighton, ran a 19.75 to finish second and Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo posted a 19.81 to place third.

Lyles has a pair of gold medals at this year’s worlds. He ran a gold-medal-winning time of 9.83 in the men’s 100-meter final last Sunday.

“It’s a great feeling to know that I’ve just done something that not a lot of people have done," Lyles told NBC following the 200-meters. "(Friday), I came out and showed that I’m different from everybody else. I’m a double champion."

Tyson Gay is the last American to achieve the 100-200 sprint double. He did it in 2007.

Jamaican track and field legend Usain Bolt is the last person to complete the 100-200 world championships double. Bolt accomplished the feat in 2009, 2013 and 2015.

Lyles’ 200-meter win now gives him five career world championship gold medals. He’s also expected to run the 4x100-meter relay at this year’s worlds for Team USA.

Shericka Jackson bounces back in women's 200

Shericka Jackson got revenge over Sha'Carri Richardson in the women’s 200-meters.

Jackson won her second consecutive world championship title in the women’s 200-meters when she crossed the line first with a time of 21.41. The Jamaican sprinter ran out of lane 6 and surpassed the entire field after the turn. During the straightaway, it was over.  

Jackson's time set a world championships record and was just .07 seconds off the late Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 200 world record.

American Gabby Thomas finished in second place, running a 21.81. Fellow American Sha’Carri Richardson claimed third with a time of 21.92.

Jackson narrowly lost to Richardson in the women’s 100-meters on Monday, but the Jamaican runner wasn’t going to be denied a world title in the longer sprint.

Jackson is the first woman to win consecutive 200-meter golds at the world championships since Netherlands’ Dafne Schippers did it in 2015 and 2017.
