In a matchup of two breakout U.S. sprinters, Christian Coleman beat Noah Lyles in a 100m for the second time this season at a Diamond League meet in Birmingham, Great Britain on Saturday.
Coleman, the 2017 World silver medalist, clocked 9.94 seconds. Lyles, the U.S. champion who is stronger at 200m, crossed in third in 9.98. Brit Reese Prescod was between them, also in 9.94 seconds and all but catching Coleman in the last half of the race.
Coleman is the fastest indoor 60m runner of all time, but the field usually closes on him in the last half of 100m races.
