What happened in the Men’s 200m at the 2022 World Championships?

Lyles jokes he has 'too much energy' in 200m sweep
Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton talk with Lewis Johnson after their impressive sweep of the men's 200m at the 2022 Track and Field World Championships.

Last summer in Eugene, Americans Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek, and Erriyon Knighton successfully swept the podium. Lyles not only defended his world title but also set an American record of 19.31.

Stars to Watch in the 2023 Men’s 200m:

Two-time reigning world champion Noah Lyles looks to become just the second man after Usain Bolt, to win three or more world titles in the 200m. However, Lyles—who is going for the double after earning the title of the world’s fastest man with his 100m victory—will have to prove that he can once again hold off Tokyo and 2022 world silver medalist Kenny Bednarek and Erriyon Knighton, who won last year’s world 200m bronze.
