US sprint star Noah Lyles has a last competitive track outing at Saturday's London Diamond League before heading across the English Channel to the Paris Olympics .
Lyles, who won the 100m and 200m titles at last year's world championships in Budapest, will run the shorter sprint in the British capital in his continuing bid to set himself up as the true successor to now-retired legend Usain Bolt .
But the American will be up against Britain's Anguilla-born Zharnel Hughes , who won bronze behind him in Hungary, and the dangerous duo of world silver medalist Letsile Tebago of Botswana and South Africa's Akani Simbine .
'I'm looking forward to London, I feel it's going to be special,' said Hughes, who was disqualified from the 100m final at the Covid-delayed Tokyo Olympics won by Italy's Marcell Jacobs.
'The fact it's the last Diamond League before the Olympic Games, it's going to be stacked and I want to lay something down there.
