Lyles gives US 1st track and field gold in Nanjing
Print Edition
AMERICAN teenager Noah Lyles stormed to victory in the men’s 200 meters sprint yesterday to provide the United States with its first gold medal in track and field at the Youth Olympics in Nanjing, east China’s Jiangsu Province.
The 16-year-old lived up to his billing as the pre-race favorite as he charged to victory in 20.80 seconds.
“I took the win from the Jamaicans. I took the win from everybody else. I definitely wanted to prove that we’re (US) still on top,” he said.
Jamaica did win the women’s 200 final when Natalliah Whyte scored in 23.55 seconds.
Britain’s Giarnni Regini-Moran and Nikita Nagornyy of Russia each won their third gold medals in men’s gymnastics.
Regini-Moran, who won the all-round and floor golds earlier, won the vault while Nagornyy added the parallel bars to his earlier wins in the pommel horse and rings.
China’s Wang Yan picked up her second gold when she won the balance beam while Yang Hao won the men’s three-meter springboard diving final.
