Noah Lyles, the Olympic champion sprinter from the United States, established a new world record in the 150-meter sprint at the Golden Spike meet held in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Lyles completed the rare distance in 14.67 seconds, surpassing the previous mark of 14.92 seconds set by Kishane Thompson in April.

At 28 years old, Lyles’s performance in this seldom-run event adds to his growing reputation as one of track and field’s premier athletes. The 150 meters is not a standard distance in major championships, making record attempts in this event relatively uncommon.
