Noah Lyles narrowly missed out on an Olympic sprint double after falling in the men's 200m final in Paris, with Botswana's Resil Tebogo taking gold and the United States' Kenny Bednarek taking silver.
The world champion in the distance was hoping to become the first male athlete to win both the 100m and 200m titles since Usain Bolt at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
He managed to win the 100m gold medal in Paris, but this time he couldn't compensate for the fact that once again the athletes had the slowest reaction times.
After the game, Lyles suffered a back injury in the loss and eventually sat up to be examined by medical staff who rushed onto the field.
Tebogo led from start to finish, winning in 19.46 seconds, the fourth fastest time in history.
Bednarek, who won silver in Tokyo, finished in 19.62 seconds, and clocked 19.70 seconds in the curves four days after winning the 100m in a close race.
