- The track covered in New York saw up to seven different best times of the campaign thanks to performances by stars such as Shaunae Miller-Uibo o Donavan Brazier.
- The disappointing performances were carried out by Noah Lyles y Michael Norman in a day with many improvements.
The Bahamian Shaunae Miller-Uibo, winner of the 400 meters, and the American Donavan Brazier, which was imposed in the 800s, were the great protagonists of the New York indoor meeting, in which a total of seven best world brands of the year were signed.
Records that, however, did not prevent the fourth round of the world indoor circuit from leaving a certain bittersweet taste, before the gray performance of the Americans Noah Lyles y Michael Norman, the top stars of the reunion along with Miller-Uibo and Brazier.
If Shaunae Miller-Uibo and Donavan Brazier adorned their triumphs with the best records of the course, Lyles and Norman did not come close to the expected marks. Especially Noah Lyles, current 200-meter outdoor world champion, who if in the test of 60 smooths did not even qualify for the final, after signing a time of 6.76 seconds in the series, in the final of the double hectometer he won with some ‘discreet’ 20.80 seconds. Very far from the 20.45 that his compatriot Courtney Lindsey established on January 16 as the best world record of the year. A disappointment that Lyles couldn’t hide, as his frowning face showed after checking his mark.
It also didn’t shine as expected Michael Norman in the 400 meters, by winning victory with a time of 45.34 seconds, after beating his compatriot and training partner in a tight final Rai benjamin, second with a ‘chrono’ of 45.39. In fact, Norman, who has the best time of all time with a time of 44.52 seconds, fell far short of the leader of the year, the also American. Fred Kerley, which ran on January 24 in 45.03 seconds.
