World champion Noah Lyles set a new US Olympic trials record by winning the 200m in a time of 19.53 seconds in Oregon.
The 26-year-old, who won the 100m trials last weekend, came from behind to beat rival Kenny Bednarek by 0.06secs.
Lyles’ time – the fastest 200m in 2024 so far – beat a record set by Michael Johnson in the US Olympic trials before the 1996 Atlanta Games.
Lyles, who finished with bronze at the Tokyo Games in 2021, said his improved mental health would help as he aims for the sprint double in Paris.
