Eugene – Noah Lyles (right) believes he is rounding into form at the right time ahead of next month's World Championships in Tokyo after a scintillating world-leading 200m victory at the US trials on Sunday.
Lyles, the reigning Olympic 100m champion, will attempt to defend both his 100m and 200m world crowns in Japan, aiming to emulate Usain Bolt with a fourth consecutive world 200m gold.
The 28-year-old from Florida warmed up for that challenge in Eugene on Sunday by clocking a world-leading 19.63secs in a testy battle with Kenny Bednarek.
