BUDAPEST, Hungary — Noah Lyles won the 200-meter world title Friday in 19.52 seconds, becoming the first man to complete the 100-200 sprint double at worlds since Usain Bolt did it for the third and final time back in 2015.

It was Lyles' third straight world championship at 200 meters and cemented him as the man to beat at both distances less than a year from now at the Paris Olympics.

In the women's race, Jamaica's Shericka Jackson ran the second fastest time in history, a 21.41, to take her second straight world title at 200 meters.

She beat American Gabby Thomas by .4 seconds and three steps, with Sha'Carri Richardson taking bronze to go with her gold in the 100.
