          Lyles clocks fastest time in semis; Bol takes gold in 400 hurdles

          Lyles clocks fastest time in semis; Bol takes gold in 400 hurdles

          (L to R) Oblique Seville of Jamaica, Noah Lyles of United States, and Zharnel Hughes of Great Britain compete in the men's 100mfFinal during the World Athletics Championships Budapest 2023.

          BUDAPEST, Hungary — American Noah Lyles continued his quest for double sprint gold at the ongoing World Athletics Championships, as Femke Bol of the Netherlands powered to victory in the women’s 400 hurdles.

          Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece claimed the gold medal at the long jump competition. Femke Bol of the Netherlands powered to victory in the women’s 400 hurdles.

          Lyles cruised into the men’s 200 metres final despite a freak cart crash that delayed the start of his race.

          Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece claimed gold medal at the long jump competition.

          Four days after winning the 100 metres, Lyles, twice world 200m champion, ran 19.76 seconds to record the fastest time in the semi-finals, Reuters reported.

          Lyles’ heat was delayed by 30 minutes after the golf cart transporting him and the other runners from the warmup track to the stadium crashed into another cart.

          Heats two and three were run before the first heat as Jamaican Andrew Hudson received medical treatment for what the World Athletics radio broadcast said was something in his eye.

          American Kennie Bednarek, the Olympic silver medallist, ran 19.96 for the second fastest time and Letsile Tebogo of Botswana, silver medallist in the 100 in Budapest, was third quickest in 19.97.

          The 26-year-old Lyles is seeking to become the first man to win the sprint double since Usain Bolt in 2015.

          After the race, Hudson explained what the track-side doctor had said to him: “I went back to medical and the doctor said I had some shards of glass in my eye,” he said. “I tried to flush it out as best as possible.”

          A Local Organising Committee statement was later released that said: “The 200m heats reorder was due to the collision of two golf carts. One athlete and a volunteer were assessed and the athlete cleared to participate.

          “He competed in the last heat. The volunteer is also fine. The Local Organising Committee is investigating the incident and reviewing the transport procedures.”

          Canada’s Tokyo 2020 Andre de Grasse gold medallist faced a nervous wait after finishing third in his semi-final but his time of 20.10 was enough to see him through to the godl medal race.

          The second semi-final was won by Kenny Bednarek who looked in strong form as he clocked 19.96 to win a neck-and-neck race with Botswana’s 20-year-old world 100m medallist Letsile Tebogo who finished in 19.97.

          Meanwhile, Bol powered to victory in the women’s 400 hurdles to secure her first world championship gold medal.

          It was a hugely satisfying win for Bol, who fell metres from the line when racing for gold in the mixed 4x400m relay on the opening night of the championships.

          Bol, second at last year’s worlds and third at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, was level with American Shamier Little until just before the home straight before pulling away to cross the line in 51.70 seconds.

          Little finished in 52.80, holding off Jamaica’s Rushell Clayton who took the bronze in 52.81.

          Elsewhere, Tentoglou of Greece won long jump gold as his final leap of 8.52 metres edged him ahead of long-time leader Wayne Pinnock of Jamaica.

          Last year´s silver medallist Tentoglou got the event off to a flier as he produced a huge season´s best 8.50 with his opening jump, only for Pinnock to match it in the second round.

          That put Pinnock, who flew to a world-leading 8.54 metres on his opening jump in Wednesday’s qualifying and a personal best by 17cm, in the lead on the back of having the best second jump by one centimetre.

          In the final round, though, Tentoglou hit the board perfectly to soar ahead and Pinnock was unable to improve on his final attempt.

          Jamaican Tajay Gayle snatched bronze with his final leap of 8.27, matching compatriot Carey McLeod but edging him on countback.

          McLeod was lucky to escape injury after slipping on takeoff on his third jump, spiralling spectacularly into the air and landing face-first into the pit.

          World Champion Tobi Amusan has failed to defend her World title after finishing 6th in the final.

          Jamaica’s Danielle Williams won the title in a season-best of 12.43s while Olympic champion, Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn came second in 12.44s and USA Kendra Harrison came third in 12.46s while World champion, Amusan came 6th in 12.62s in her third consecutive final.

          At the 2022 World Championship in Eugene, USA, Amusan came first with a 12.40 (African record) before setting a new world record of 12.12 to smash the 12.20 world record set by Kendra Harrison in 2016.

          The world hurdles record holder missed out on the chance of becoming the fourth woman after USA’s duo of Gail Devers and Michelle Perry, and Australian Sally Pearson, to claim at least two gold medals in the women’s 100m Hurdles at the World Championships.

          It was a third consecutive final for the Nigerian athlete who competed against Olympic champion, Puerto Rico’s Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji, Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton, the duo of Kendra Harrison and Nia Ali from the United States of America, and the Jamaican duo of Ackera Nugent and Danielle Williams at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest, Hungary.

          Amusan, who despite the loss retains her world record, qualified for the final on Wednesday by clocking 12.56s to finish ahead of Jamaican Achkara Nugent’s 12.60s after she started her title defence by clocking12.48s (0.4) to win the fifth heat of the women’s 100m.
