Contact on the track, as Lyles shoved by Bednarek after his win in 200 meters at US nationals
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Track turned into a contact sport Sunday when Kenny Bednarek shoved Noah Lyles after Lyles beat him to the finish line in the 200-meter final at U.S. championships. Lyles reeled in Bednarek in the homestretch to win in 19.63 seconds. As he was crossing the finish line, Lyles turned to Bednarek in the lane next to him and started jawing at him. A few steps after they crossed, Bednarek reached out and gave Lyles a two-handed shove. Lyles turned around, backpedaled and reached his arms out, then kept jawing at Bednarek. Their argument continued into the start of the NBC interview. 'I tell ya, if you've got a problem, I expect a call,' Bednarek said. Lyles replied: 'You know what, you're right. You're right. Let's talk after this.' Asked by the network's Lewis Johnson what happened, Bednarek said: 'I'm not going to say it out here, but we got something to do and talk about." The next chapter figures to play out Sept. 19 in Japan, where they'll be among the favorites in the 200-meter final. Lyles is trying to match Usain Bolt with four straight world titles in his best race. Lyles had a slow start to a season that has seen Bednarek open as the dominant sprinter of 2025. Bednarek won the 100 meters Friday and also beat Lyles at the Olympics last year, finishing second in a race in which Lyles won bronze while suffering with COVID. 'It was a pretty difficult championship," Lyles said. "I've been tired. It's been rough. coming out here when you're not 100 percent and being able to say, 'I still got to give my all no matter what happens.' That's tough. That's tough.' ___ AP Summer Olympics:

Trinity Rodman strikes game-winning goal in first NWSL game in over 3 months
The NWSL saw the return of one of its stars in a big way on Sunday, Aug. 3, as the Washington Spirit's Trinity Rodman struck a game-winning goal against the Portland Thorns in her first match since April 12. Rodman, who battled back from a nagging back injury, entered the match in the 76th minute to a rousing ovation from the home crowd at Audi Field in Washington D.C. The cheers only got louder when Rodman scored in the second minute of second half stoppage time, catching a ball mid-bounce and firing it over keeper Mackenzie Arnold for the game-winner. "Holy cow, that was just the hardest thing I've had to go through with injury and everything," an emotional Rodman said after the game. "So, being back with the team, especially at home, with the stadium and the crowd behind me, scoring a goal like that – you saw I buried it. I was not going to miss it. I'm just really happy to be back. I missed the team. I missed doing what I love." WHAT TO KNOW AS NWSL SEASON RESUMES: How will Trinity Rodman fare? Who will win MVP? A 2024 Olympic gold medalist, Rodman has openly said her back is unlikely to ever get back to 100%. Rodman's only game for the U.S. women's national team since the Paris Olympics last summer came April 5. She scored just over five minutes into that 2-0 victory. Washington's next match will be Aug. 9 against Gotham FC, as the No. 2 team in the NWSL looks to make a push with Rodman at the helm. After the game-winner Sunday, it looks like things are off to a promising start. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Trinity Rodman strikes game-winning goal for Washington Spirit in NWSL
