Noah Lyles exploded off the blocks at the Icahn Stadium during the NYC Grand Prix and never ceded the lead to cross the finish line in 19.83 and tie retired great Usain Bolt’s record for the most sub-20-second finishes in the 200m. Issam Asinga of Suriname took second in 20.25, and American Elijah Morrow finished third in 20.30.
