American Christian Coleman says he is "stepping into his prime" after beating Noah Lyles to 60m gold in their showdown at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
Coleman, the world record holder in the event, clocked a world-leading 6.41 seconds to take an impressive victory.
World 100m and 200m champion Lyles, unable to add to his expanding list of global sprint titles, ran 6.44.
Jamaican Ackeem Blake beat Kenya's Ferdinand Omanyala to bronze in 6.46.
"These opportunities don't come around often when you are feeling good and healthy," said 2019 world 100m champion Coleman, who won his last world indoor title on British soil in Birmingham six years ago.
"I am excited. It is 2024 and I am stepping into my prime mentally, physically and spiritually. I am going to have to be on my A-game and I feel confident I will be there [at the Olympics]."
