Noah Lyles anchored the U.S. 4x100m to silver on an upset-filled final day of the IAAF World Relays in Yokohama, Japan, on Sunday.
Lyles, the early 2020 Olympic 200m favorite, was given the baton in around fifth place after a poor previous exchange from Justin Gatlin to Isiah Young. He passed France, China and Great Britain but could not catch Brazil, coming up .02 short.
The Americans were also beaten in the men’s and women’s 4x400m and the women’s 4x200m.
U.S. 100m champion Aleia Hobbs anchored the women’s 4x100m, holding off Jamaican Jonielle Smith, 43.
