US sprinter Noah Lyles sets world best 150m time at Golden Spike meet

American sprinter Noah Lyles has blazed to a new world best in the rarely contested 150-meter race, clocking an impressive 14.67 seconds at the Golden Spike athletics meet in Ostrava, Czech Republic. The 28-year-old shattered the previous record of 14.72 seconds, which was held by Jamaica's Kishane Thompson.

Lyles, known for his electrifying performances and charismatic personality, edged out South Africa's Sinesipho Dambile, who finished second with a time of 14.78 seconds. Australian teenager Gout Gout secured third place, crossing the line in 14.96 seconds.

An elated Lyles expressed his satisfaction after the race, telling Czech TV, "Was there ever any doubt? We came for a show." This victory adds to Lyles' strong season, following his comfortable win in the 100 meters at the Wanda Diamond League meet in Rome earlier this month, where he recorded 9.88 seconds.

In other events at the Golden Spike meet, Swiss runner Audrey Werro delivered a stellar performance to win the women's 800 meters in 1 minute 54.45 seconds, narrowly defeating Dutch star Femke Broeders-Bol. South Africa's Bayanda Walaza claimed the men's 100 meters title, equalling his personal best with a time of 9.94 seconds.
