SAINT-DENIS, France — As expected, Noah Lyles advanced to the Olympic final in the men’s 200-meter sprint. However, he took second in the semifinals.
In semifinal heat two, Lyles ran out of lane six. Lyles sped around the turn, but he was behind Letsile Tebogo of Botswana. Lyles attempted to catch Tebogo but the Botswanan sprinter was too far in front as he crossed the line a stride ahead of Lyles.
Tebogo's winning time was 19.96. Lyles came in second at 20.08 to get the second automatic qualifying spot.
Lyles is trying to become the first American to win the Olympic sprint double (100 and 200 meters) in 40 years. He won gold in the 100 in a dramatic photo finish.
Lyles' personal-best in the 200 is 19.31, which is the current American record. He won both the 100 and 200 at the U.S Olympic track and field trials to qualify for the Paris Olympics.
