2023 Men’s 200 World Rankings

UNDEFEATED NOAH LYLES was the obvious choice for the top spot, claiming his fourth No.1 ever (only legends Usain Bolt at 11 and Michael Johnson at 5 have more). Lyles also moved into the event’s No. 10 scoring spot ever, but at 57 he has a long way to go to catch Frank Fredericks’ 105…

TEEN SENSATION ERRIYON KNIGHTON, who doesn’t turn 20 until January, was an easy repeater in the runner-up spot… WC bronze medalist Letsile Tebogo, just some 7 months older than Knighton, takes the No. 3 spot here too…

THE FIRST 6 SPOTS match the Budapest 1–6 finishers in order.
