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.
