Lyles 'fine' after failing to finish 200m at US championships
US sprint star Noah Lyles pulled up with cramp in the 200m final at the US athletics championships on Sunday, his bid for a title double undone as Garrett Kaalund claimed the victory.
"I came out of the turn and I just felt the grabbing sensation, and I was like 'Yeah, this is the time to stop. There's no reason to push this,'" Lyles, who won the 100m on Friday in a world leading 9.79sec, told broadcaster NBC.
The 2024 100m Olympic gold medallist downplayed potential injury concerns.
"It was somewhat of a cramp," he said. "I'm fine. I just need to be stretched out, get some electrolytes in my system, but I'll be good."
Lyles walked over to give 22-year-old Kaalund a congratulatory hug after the 22-year-old captured the title in 20.04sec.
Brandon Hicklin was second and Maximilian Thomas third, both credited with a time of 20.29sec.
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, a treble gold medallist at last September's world championships, won the women's 200m in 21.69sec -- just one-hundredth off her personal best.
Jefferson-Wooden came off the turn in front and powered home with Cambrea Sturgis second in 22.22 and Camryn Dickson third in 22.58.
Jefferson-Wooden had opted out of the 100m, which was won by Sha'Carri Richardson.
