Sprinters confront each other at US championships
Pair will face off in September’s world championships
The US track championships turned physical on Sunday, with Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek involved in a shoving match after they crossed the finish line of a hotly contested 200m final.
“Like I’ve said before, Noah’s going be Noah,” Bednarek said. “If he wants to stare me down, that’s fine.”
Lyles reeled in Bednarek and crossed in 19.63 seconds for a 0.04sec victory that sets up a rematch at the world championships, which take place next month in Tokyo.
