![Tebogo silences Lyles, 'Super Syd' roars to world mark](https://cdn.magzter.com/1617717947/1723236878/articles/99FQFBh701723254474412/TEBOGO-SILENCES-LYLES-SUPER-SYD-ROARS-TO-WORLD-MARK.jpg)
Tebogo's superb run shattered Noah Lyles' hopes for three golds, as he was forced to settle for bronze and then revealed he has Covid-19.
McLaughlin-Levrone left Dutch rival Femke Bol with the bronze as the American lowered her own world mark to 50.37sec and retained her title from Tokyo.
Three of the five finals on a mesmerising night at the Stade de France were claimed by Americans, but the fancied Lyles was not among them.
Grant Holloway won the 110m hurdles gold that had eluded him at the Tokyo Games, while Tara Davis-Woodhall won the women's long jump.
There was another exceptional performance in the men's javelin as Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem threw an Olympic record of 92.97m for his country's first individual gold at a Summer Games.
All the pre-race talk about the men's 200m was about 100m champion Lyles emulating Usain Bolt's sprint doubles.
