World Athletics Indoor Championships: American sprinter Christian Coleman clocked a world-leading time of 6.41 seconds to clinch the men's 60m title at the World Athletics Indoor Championships here on Friday.

Coleman, 27, has been holding the world record of 6.34 seconds for six years, but his teammate Noah Lyles drew more attention in Glasgow as the 200m specialist just won the US Indoor Championships with a personal best of 6.43 seconds, reported Xinhua

Lyles, who made a splash by winning three golds at the Budapest World Championships last August, reached the final smoothly with two solid runs earlier on Friday. However, the debutant of the indoor worlds could not match a more experienced Coleman as the 2018 world indoor champion led the charge right after the start and won by a 0.03-second margin.
