American sprint sensation Noah Lyles powered to his fourth consecutive victory in the men's 200 meters at the World Athletics Championships on Friday, clocking an impressive 19.52 seconds, reported Xinhua.

The 28-year-old's triumph secured his sixth gold medal across four World Championships, adding to his 100m title in Budapest and 4x100m relay golds in Doha and Budapest.

Two-time Olympic silver medalist Kenneth Bednarek delivered a season-best 19.58 seconds to claim silver, completing a U.S. one-two finish. Jamaica's Bryan Levell surged to bronze with a personal best of 19.64 seconds.

Botswana's Letsile Tebogo, the 100m silver medalist earlier this week, narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth in 19.65 seconds.
