Lyles clocks world's fastest 200m this year in heated U.S. trials race - Reuters

Nine-time global gold medallist to take the mic as Ultimate MC and Creative Adviser Noah Lyles has been announced as an Ultimate Star for the World Athletics Ultimate Championship, taking place on 11-13 September in Budapest, Hungary.

Noah Lyles took a quarter of a second off the world 150m best at the Golden Spike in Ostrava on Tuesday (16), clocking 14.67 at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting. The Olympic 100m champion and four-time world 200m champion was contesting the distance for the first time, but the rarely run event looked tailor-made for him. Strong enough over 100m and dominant over 200m, Lyles used both parts of his sprinting range to full effect in the Czech city.

"Sarah Ruscoe, a single mum out of work because of a health condition, said she had worried her daughter's bed would collapse in the night after finding herself in a "dire" financial situation. A food bank user, Ruscoe said "every year seems to be getting worse" as she struggled to make her benefits cover essentials. A charity eventually paid for a new bed for daughter Sabrina, 11. But MPs heard this week that the general picture of one in three children living in relative poverty in Wales had not changed in 20 years, with a think tank saying the problem was becoming entrenched. On Wednesday MPs at the UK Parliament's Welsh Affairs Committee opened an inquiry on ending child poverty in Wales.
