Turning to the Paris Olympics, Lyles added: “I’m going to win, it’s what I always do. I’m getting faster every week.” Once the American, who won the 100-200m golds at the Budapest world championships last year, got going, there was no doubt he would win. South African Akani Simbine timed a season’s best of 9.85sec in second, while Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo rounded out the podium in 9.88sec to match his own national record. 

British champion Louie Hinchliffe was fourth in 9.97sec, while Zharnel Hughes had to be content with sixth (10.00) behind Jamaica’s Ackeem Blake (9.97).
