Christian Coleman holds off Noah Lyles to take world indoor 60m title
- World 60m record holder too quick out of blocks for rival
- Australia’s Nicola Olyslagers takes shock high jump win
Sprinting’s biggest anti-hero has his mojo back. On a boisterous night in Glasgow’s East End, Christian Coleman powered to the world indoor 60m title with a display of staggering acceleration and controlled aggression.
The final came down to a simple equation. Would Coleman, the world 60m record holder, put the race to bed early with his firecracker start? Or could his fellow American Noah Lyles, the reigning 100m and 200m world champion, get away from the blocks quick enough to stay within striking distance at the death?
