Jamaican Kishane Thompson laid down a marker ahead of next month's world championships when he came out on top in the highly-anticipated 100 metres against Olympic champion Noah Lyles at the Silesia Diamond League meeting on Saturday.
The men's sprint brought together American Lyles and the Jamaican Thompson for the first time since their unforgettable Olympic final last year in Paris, where Lyles beat his rival by five thousandths of a second.
Add Kenny Bednarek into the mix, who recently clashed with Lyles, and this was a race that nobody wanted to miss.
The two Americans had a heated moment at the U.S. Championships earlier this month, when Lyles stared down Bednarek coming to the line and received a shove in return at the finish.
