Three-time world champion Noah Lyles moved a step closer to achieving his ambitions of an Olympic sprint double by winning the men’s 200-meters in record time at the US Olympic track and field trials.

The American crossed the line in 19.53 seconds at Hayward Field, Eugene on Saturday, for the fastest time of the year in the event and also broke Michael Johnson’s trials record of 19.66 which had stood for 28 years. Lyles first surpassed that time by winning his semifinal in 19.60 on Friday, though on that occasion the wind was fractionally too strong for his time to register as a record.

83 seconds before claiming a third-straight crown in the 200m. “You claim you’re gonna go out there and win four medals, so the goal had to be win the 100m and 200m. Job is accomplished,” Lyles told reporters. “I’m right where I need to be.” The American finished a disappointing third in the 200m Tokyo but has been dominant over the distance ever since and will be the strong favorite to win gold in Paris in August.
