US sprinters look to lay down a marker in Tokyo

Two of the four Olympic sprint titles may have evaded the United States in Paris last year, but the sport's superpower is targeting a clean sweep at the World Athletics Championships, with Noah Lyles and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden leading the charge.

The US dominated global sprinting for decades, but endured an uncomfortable period in the shadows as Jamaica took command on the men's and women's sides.

Now, as the Caribbean island's depth has fallen away, the US is looking to reassert its dominance and is hoping for a first world championship sweep in 20 years.

Lyles, of course, is the leading light after claiming the Olympic 100m gold last year — albeit by five thousandths of a second against Jamaican Kishane Thompson.

That gave him the coveted double after he won the world 100m title in Budapest in 2023. He has also lorded it over 200m at the worlds, taking the last three titles.

Lyles had a belated start to the season due to an ankle injury and has been beaten three times by Jamaicans Oblique Seville and world-leader Thompson (9.75 seconds) in the 100m in the Diamond League, where his sluggish start, always the weakest point of his racing, routinely left him too much to do.

But, if anyone was about to write him off, he showed that he was back to his best to win the Diamond League 200m final in 19.74 seconds, overhauling Botswana's Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo on the line.

The duo's rivalry will be one of the highlights of the Tokyo championships, though Lyles' compatriot Kenny Bednarek — with 9.79 and 19.67 to his name this season, looks well-equipped to crash the party in both events.

The women's sprints look just as compelling.

St Lucia's Julien Alfred, a hugely popular winner of the Olympic 100m last year, also struggled with injury midseason, but she, too, seems to be timing her comeback perfectly, as she won the Diamond League 100m final in 10.76 seconds and should also be a threat over 200m.

Defending 100m champion and Olympic silver medalist Sha'Carri Richardson has yet to break 11 seconds this season, but returns via her 2023 title wildcard.

During her struggles and diversions, compatriot Jefferson-Wooden has really stepped up to the plate and heads to Tokyo as the fastest in the field after her 10.65 at the US trials — making her the joint fifth-fastest woman in history — having come into the year with a best of 10.80.
