An extraordinary feat awaited Lyles beyond the finish line, as he etched his name into history by becoming only the second man after the legendary Usain Bolt to secure three consecutive 200-meter world titles.
Fueled by unwavering self-assurance, Lyles boldly predicted this triumph by sharing the news through his girlfriend's Instagram account mere hours before the race. Following his outstanding achievement, Lyles embarked on a celebratory stroll with his girlfriend, Junelle Bromfield, a fellow track and field athlete.
