Lyles smashes 150m world record in Ostrava
Noah Lyles erased Usain Bolt’s 150m mark with a 14.35-second blitz in Ostrava, leaving Australian Gout Gout 0.22 seconds behind and proving his sprinting supremacy two years after his Olympic 100m gold.
Noah Lyles just rewrote sprinting history in Ostrava. 35-second standard set in 2009. Lyles, the reigning Olympic 100m champion, ran the fastest 150m ever recorded, shattering expectations and silencing skeptics who questioned his transition from 100m dominance to longer sprints.
22 seconds off Bolt’s mark, a margin that underscores the magnitude of the achievement. 8 meters per second—well within legal limits. Lyles surged out of the blocks with relentless acceleration, maintaining his speed through the curve and down the straight.
