Zoah Lyles won double gold at the world championships after capturing his third-consecutive victory in the 200 meters.
The American sprinter has not only been all but guaranteeing victory, but he has been vocal about doing so in record-breaking fashion. He even made a social media post predicting the times he would run in the 100 and 200 meters at the world championships.
He was a few tenths of a second off on each, but he still took gold in each event. The 26-year-old Lyles won his third-straight 200m on Friday, finishing with a time of 19.52 seconds. He became the first men's sprinter since Usain Bolt in 2015 to threepeat in the event, although he was unable to top the Jamaican star's world record of 19.19 seconds.
