Christian Coleman, winning a good duel against Noah Lyles, made a successful comeback in the 100m, with a time of 9 sec 78, Sunday at the Bermuda Athletics Grand Prix. The American could have established, by far, the best world performance of the year if the wind had not blown so much at his back (+4.4 m/sec, twice the authorized limit). As often, having made it his specialty, he took off like a bullet at the start, quickly outdistancing his rivals of the day, but it took two hundredths for Lyles, author of a finish with a bang – as the 200m world champion that he is -, do not beat him on the line (9.80). “It’s cliché, but I stay in my lane. I wanted to execute everything we had worked on. I knew I would be tough to beat if I did that,” Coleman said. The 27-year-old is showing he still has the resources, more than a year after returning to competition following his 18-month suspension for an anti-doping rule violation.
