Noha Lyles looked to have shattered the 200m world record set by Usain Bolt as he seems to have completed the track in just 18.90 seconds in the Inspiration Games before it was revealed that he only ran 185m. Lyles' 18.90 seconds would have broken the 19.19-second mark of world record holder Usain Bolt, who set the benchmark in 2009. "You can't be playing with my emotions like this," Lyles later wrote on Twitter.
