BUDAPEST :The United States won both 4x100 metres relays at the World Championships on Saturday as their individual superstars Noah Lyles and Sha'Carrie Richardson ran anchor legs to complete triple medal weeks.Lyles added the relay gold to his sprint double while Richardson had already claimed 100m gold and bronze in the 200m."It's sensational, amazing.
You can't do better. It's out of control," Lyles said. "I love team USA because everybody is coming here thinking 'I'm going to win'.
We're able to put that into a team effort and then we're unstoppable."It was a glorious end to the night for the sport's superpower after the earlier disappointment of seeing their highly-favoured 4x400m women's team disqualified following a baton failure in the semi-finals.Despite their rich depth, the U.S men had not won an Olympic final since 2000 and had just one gold from the last seven World Championships amid a series of fumbles and disqualifications.But they were almost faultless on Saturday as Christian Coleman, Fred Kerley, Brandon Carnes and Lyles won in 37.38."We all know we're fast," said Lyles. "We don't have to worry about whether we're going to win.
It's just about getting the stick around and trusting each other. It's fun to do this." Olympic champions Italy, with Tokyo individual gold medallist Lamont Marcell Jacobs on the second leg, took silver with 37.62.
