Lyles for Ostrava Golden Spike, Tamberi returns

OSTRAVA (CZE): Olympic and World champion Noah Lyles will make his debut at the 65th Ostrava Golden Spike (WACT Gold) on 16 June, and he will race the 150m. “I am very happy to present myself at the Zlatá tretra in Ostrava in the Czech Republic. It is really special for me, because I have been following this meeting for years. I will run 150 meters and maybe attack the world’s best performance,” Lyles said.
