Lyles, Richardson anchor US sweep of relays at world championships
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles anchored the U.S. to back-to-back victories in the 4x100 Saturday, giving the Americans a sweep of the short relays at the world championships for the first time since 2007. For Lyles, it closed out a 3-for-3 championships. When Lyles crossed the line, closing out a lap of 37.38 seconds for the U.S., he lifted three fingers in the air to punctuate what he’s done. The men were on the track to watch the women, and when Richardson crossed, Christian Coleman came out and more or less tackled the 100-meter champion and they fell to the track. The U.S. women finished in 41.03 — .18 ahead of Jamaica — with Britain finishing third.

Ethiopia’s Amane Beriso Shankule Wins World Marathon Title to Cap an Amazing Year
BUDAPEST, Hungary – Amane Beriso Shankule capped an amazing 12 months of running to power away from her Ethiopian compatriots and win the 2023 World Championships marathon in 2:24:23. Just after halfway, Tokyo Marathon champion Rosemary Wanjiru of Kenya surged and the real racing began. That would not last long, however, as Gemechu fell back and, seeing the medals running away from her, stopped to a walk and dropped out while in fourth place, grabbing at her side. Yehualaw tried to stay close but by 37k, she had begun to slow and Beriso’s lead reached 17 seconds. Just before 41k, Gardadi came by and all Yehualaw could do was flail her arms as Gardadi pulled away for bronze.
