World Athletics Championships 2023: Kerley, Lyles dismiss Jacobs threat in 100m

The Hindu  

Fred Kerley will bid to retain his world 100m crown in Budapest on Sunday, but the blue riband event of track and field is arguably as open as it has been in 20 years. Another question on the Italian sprinter saw Lyles retort to Kerley, “Damn, Fred, this man is popular, how did this man get so popular?” Kerley replied, “I don’t know, man, we’re not too worried about him at this moment.” READ | Chasing 90m — Neeraj Chopra’s pursuit of the ultimate barrier in javelin throw Kerley has raced just five 100m races this season, two of them in Yokohama in May, where he clocked a season’s best of 9.88sec. Lyles will be gunning for a third world 200m title and a potential sprint double, with the US quartet in the 100m also comprising Cravont Charleston and the 2019 world champion Christian Coleman. Hughes in wings The world leading time this season was set by Anguilla-born Briton Zharnel Hughes, whose 9.83sec in New York in June bettered former world champion Linford Christie’s British record by four-hundredths. That’s when things can go topsy turvy.” The last sprinter from outside Jamaica or the United States to win the world 100m crown was Kim Collins of St Kitts and Nevis, way back in Paris in 2003.
