In the men's 100 meters at the same meeting, Seville won the race, with Noah Lyles finishing second in 10.02 seconds. Lyles, who is aiming for a third consecutive world championship title, also competed in the men's 200 meters, entering with a season-best time of 20.71 seconds recorded at the Voor Mon Meet in Belgium.
