Noah Lyles sought to follow up his gold medal in the 100 meters with a matching one in the 200 meters. On Thursday, the favorite instead claimed the bronze, behind Letsile Tebogo of Botswana, who won gold, and fellow American Kenny Bednarek, who garnered the silver.
Bednarek claimed the silver in the 200 meters in Tokyo but fell behind in the 100 meters in Paris, finishing seventh at the Stade de France.
Lyles took home the bronze in the 200 meters in Tokyo, but added the 100-meter sprint for the 2024 Paris Olympics. That paid off earlier this week.
