Noah Lyles pushed by rival Kenny Bednarek as pair clash after 200-metre U.S. championships final
Noah Lyles is pushed by Kenny Bednarek following the men's 200m final in Eugene, Oregon. (via CNN Newsource) It all got a little tense after Noah Lyles got the better of rival Kenny Bednarek in the 200 metres final at the USA Track and Field Championships on Sunday. On this occasion, Lyles beat Bednarek after reeling in his opponent on the final stretch, finishing in 19.63 seconds. Bednarek finished 0.04 seconds behind but was clearly annoyed by Lyles' decision to look across at his lane in the final meters – something sprinters usually do to gloat. As a result, Bednarek shoved Lyles in the back after crossing the finishing line, a flashpoint which triggered some choice words between the two. 'I expect my apology,' Lyles could be heard saying, after appearing to initially refuse Bednarek's attempts at a handshake following a stare down. The pair's argument then bled into NBC's winner's interview, with both sprinters eventually agreeing to talk off track. Speaking to reporters after the race, Bednarek explained what had gone on between the two. 'Noah is going to be Noah,' Bednarek said. 'What he said didn't matter, it's just what he did. Unsportsmanlike sh*t and I don't deal with that. 'It's a respect factor. At the end of the day, he's fresh. Last time we lined it up, I beat him, that's all I can say. Next time we line up, I'm going to win.' He added: 'The grand summary is: don't do that to me. I don't do any of that stuff. I think it's not good character right there. That's pretty much it. At the end of the day, he won the race, so I've got to give him his props. He was the better man today.' Bednarek has beaten Lyles in both of the last two Olympic 200 metres finals, winning silver on both occasions. Lyles, though, is the fastest American to ever run the 200 metres and is a three-time world champion over the distance. World Championship rematch The pair will have the opportunity to meet again at the World Championships in Tokyo next month, a potential final which will now attract far more attention. After Sunday's race, Lyles refused to speak about the feud with Bednarek, saying 'no comment' when asked about it by reporters. Meanwhile, Bednarek said the pair have some figuring out to do, pointing toward an ongoing feud between the two. It's not clear what the disagreement is about. 'It's just some personal stuff that we gotta handle. He's got my number, if he wants to call me, he has every chance to do it, but he wants to come out and do that. I think that's funny,' Bednarek told reporters. 'At the end of the day, he can call me whenever, we can discuss it and we should be good.'

Article content 'Like I've said before, Noah's going be Noah,' Bednarek said. 'If he wants to stare me down, that's fine.' Article content Lyles reeled in Bednarek and crossed in 19.63 seconds for a .04-second victory that sets up a rematch at world championships, on Sept. 19 in Tokyo. Article content Article content Noah Lyles vs. Kenny Bednarek didn't disappoint in a tense 200m. 🍿 📺 NBC & Peacock — NBC Olympics & Paralympics (@NBCOlympics) August 3, 2025 Article content The best action in Round 1 came after the finish line. There was jawing, the shove and, then, Lyles turning around, backpedaling, reaching his arms out and bouncing up and down like a boxer before lobbing a few more choice words at Bednarek. Article content Their argument bled into the start of what is normally a celebratory NBC winner's interview. Article content 'I tell ya, if you've got a problem, I expect a call,' Bednarek said, as the network's Lewis Johnson moved the mic between the runners. Article content Lyles replied: 'You know what, you're right. You're right. Let's talk after this.' Article content Though they shook hands during that tense post-race, Bednarek was fired up well after the sprinters had left the track. Article content 'The summary is, don't do that to me,' he said. 'I don't do any of that stuff. It's not good character right there. That's pretty much it. At the end of the day, he won the race. I've got to give him props. He was the better man today.' Article content The win itself was no big surprise for Lyles, the three-time defending world champion who will have to get past Bednarek to make it four in Tokyo. Bednarek was asked what Lyles said as he turned around and gloated after securing his fifth national title at his favorite distance. Article content 'What he said didn't matter, it's just what he did,' Bednarek said. 'Unsportsmanlike (expletive) and I don't deal with that. It's a respect factor. He's fresh. Last time we lined it up, I beat him, that's all I can say. Next time we line up, I'm going to win. That's all that matters.' Article content Asked to expand on his role in the tiff, Lyles was less forthcoming: 'On coach's orders, no comment.' Article content As is common in a year after the Olympics — and in an era after Usain Bolt — track is a sport desperately in need of some energy. Who else to provide it than Lyles, the sport's most engaging character this side of Sha'Carri Richardson, who found herself in off-the-track headlines again this weekend. Article content Up to now, track media and the runners themselves have tried to generate rivalries between Lyles and Erriyon Knighton (fizzled), or Lyles and Letsile Tebogo (beat him in the Olympics last year) or, of course, between Lyles and NFL receiver Tyreek Hill (supposed grudge match never took place).
