Lyles, Richardson anchor U.S. sweep of relays at world championships

The Hindu  

Now that they’ve got the baton thing down, the American sprinters can start brushing up on celebrations. Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson anchored their 4x100 teams to victories Saturday, giving the U.S. its first sweep of the short relays at world championships since 2007 and a boost of confidence heading into next year's Olympics. He put Jamaican Rohan Watson in his rearview mirror to wrap up a run of 37.38 seconds, good for a.24 win over Italy and a.38 margin over Watson and Co. “I'm not turning around,” Lyles said when asked if he thought about looking back to see what was going on with the exchange. All that felt like ancient history by the time Richardson grabbed the baton from 200 silver medalist Gabby Thomas, took off and outran Jamaican 200 gold medalist Shericka Jackson to the finish line. In individual action on the second-to-last day at the meet, the world’s best pole vaulter, Armand Duplantis, cleared 6.10 meters to win his second straight gold medal at worlds.
