    I think Zharnel can take so much from that. You see so many athleteswho have great seasons leading up to a championships and don’t quite completeit and he has.

    He’s done incredibly well and I think his attitude was amazingin that interview as well.

    I think Hughes will be frustrated with that. Fourth positionis always a frustrating place to finish and it is not one of his best times. I knowthe 200m is his baby but it was an incredibly competitive race.

    "I'm not that disappointed," says Zharnel Hughes. "My best wasn't enough."

    A sensational sprint double for Noah Lyles.

    He has talked the talk this year - and in Budapest he has well and truly delivered.

    It felt an inevitable outcome, but the crowd thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

    Disappointment for Zharnel Hughes, who can't dip under 20 seconds as he falls just short of a second medal.

  14. Lyles a three-time world champion

    A double for Noah Lyles. He looked so good. When your main contendersare all outside you and you havea finish like him, once you get to their shoulders and you come off the bendyou must feel very confident. He showed that.

    An incredibly smooth technician – he’s just so lovely towatch.
