Noah Lyles wins the men’s 200m quick as records fall behind him

Noah Lyles won an extremely quick men’s 200m race at the London Athletics Meet 2023 Diamond League event in the British capital on Sunday (23 July).

The American found himself pushed hard by both Britain’s national sprint double champion Zharnell Hughes and Botswana’s sprint sensation Letsile Tebogo around the bend, before putting some distance between himself and his rivals.

Tebogo kicked hard to give Lyles a scare, but the world champion came home first in 19.47, improving his own 2023 world-leading time by two-tenths of a second.

With his album titled ‘African Giant’ and the most Grammy wins, Burna Boy is a clear frontrunner. Some will invoke the name of Wizkid and his collaborations with both Drake and Beyonce.

Others will still mention Davido, whose 2020 album ‘A Better Time’ – if we’re being frank – was a lot better than Burna Boy’s ‘Twice As Tall’, which went on to win that year’s Best Global Music Album award at the Grammys .

The Koh-i-Noor and Cullinan diamonds: Crown jewels have fraught history

For decades, Britain has been giving back its spoils of empire: the Stone of Scone to Scotland in 1996, Hong Kong to China in 1997 and, most recently, some of the Benin bronzes, with perhaps more to follow.

But, so far, that spirit of returning what was taken has not extended to the British crown jewels — specifically to the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which will be kept out of sight during King Charles III’s coronation Saturday, and the Cullinan diamonds, which will feature heavily.
