I could not, with confidence, identify four male sprinters in 2025 who simultaneously rank in the top 10 in both the 100 m and the 200 m, based on available public “top‑10 / formchart / best marks” lists.

However, I can walk you through what the evidence suggests, and highlight a few names who do appear in top‑10 lists in one or both events — and explain why it is rare to see a sprinter do so in both in the given year.

What the sources show

100 m top‑10s in 2025

From the Track & Field News “World Championships Men’s Top 10 Formcharts” (as of September 2025), the 100 m top 10 is:
Kishane Thompson, Noah Lyles, Oblique Seville, Kenny Bednarek, Abdul‑Rasheed Saminu, Akani Simbine, Ackeem Blake, Zharnel Hughes, Courtney Lindsey, T’Mars McCallum. (Track & Field News)

From the World Athletics 2025 best lists, for the 100 m, the best marks include:

• Trayvon Bromell: 9.84 (2025) (World Athletics)

• Abdul‑Rasheed Saminu: 9.86 (2025) (World Athletics)

• Kenneth Bednarek: 9.86 (2025) (World Athletics)

• Kishane Thompson: 9.88 (2025) (World Athletics)

• Akani Simbine: 9.90 (2025) (World Athletics)

So these athletes are among the very fastest in 2025 in the 100 m.

200 m top‑10s in 2025

The Track & Field News “Top 10 Formcharts” for 200 m lists:
Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek, Letsile Tebogo, Alexander Ogando, Robert Gregory, Courtney Lindsey (and then other names) in the top 6 or so. (Track & Field News)

From USA Championship results, we see in the 200 m:

• Noah Lyles won with 19.63 (Wikipedia)

• Kenny Bednarek was second at 19.67 (FloTrack)

• Robert Gregory third at 19.80 (FloTrack)

• Courtney Lindsey is also in the top places in US 200m lists (Track & Field News)

Thus, in 200 m, the top names include Lyles, Bednarek, Lindsey, and others.

Candidates who appear in both lists

Looking at overlap between the two sets, a few names appear in both the 100 m top‑10 and the 200 m top‑10:

1. Noah Lyles — He is in the 100 m top‑10 (formcharts) and also ranked #1 in the 200 m list. (Track & Field News)

2. Kenny Bednarek — He appears in both the 100 m and 200 m top‑10 lists. (Track & Field News)

3. Courtney Lindsey — He shows up in both lists (100 m and 200 m) for men’s top 10 formcharts. (Track & Field News)

We have three clear cases. It is possible that a fourth exists among those close to the cutoff, but I did not find unanimous evidence for a fourth who clearly appears in both the 100 m and 200 m top‑10 in 2025 in the published sources I surveyed.

One possible contender is T’Mars McCallum, who is in the 100 m list.

But I did not see McCallum clearly in the 200 m top‑10 chart from those sources. (Track & Field News)

Another possible is Akani Simbine or Kishane Thompson in 100 m, but they do not seem to make a 200 m top‑10 in the same sources.

Therefore, based on the published “top 10 formcharts” data, we see three confirmed men in 2025 who are in the top 10 in both sprints.

Why the number is limited

It is not unusual that only a few sprinters manage to rank in the top‐10 in both 100 m and 200 m in a given year. Some of the factors:

• Specialization: Many sprinters focus on one or the other distance, optimizing training, race schedule, fatigue, etc.

• Depth & consistency: To rank top‑10 in both, an athlete must post among the very best marks in both events, often in multiple meets, and not just one-off performances.

• Competition & timing: Strong competition and scheduling may force athletes to skip events or not peak equally in both.

• Range limitations: Some sprinters are better in acceleration and top speed (helping 100 m), while others have better endurance over the curve and finish (helping 200 m).

• Excelling in both at world class level is rare.

Given these constraints, seeing two or three names overlap is already notable.

Introduction & context

In 2025, the global sprinting scene has seen fierce competition in both the 100 m and 200 m events.

Athletes push themselves to post world‑class marks in a season where every fraction of a second matters.

While many sprinters might compete in both events, to rank among the top 10 in the world in both is a rare feat, because it demands excellence, consistency, and range.

From the published formchart and top‐marks data for 2025, we can identify a small number of male sprinters who fulfill this dual distinction.

Let us examine who they are, and what that says about their versatility and status in the sprinting world.

Identified athletes with top‑10 in both

Noah Lyles

Noah Lyles stands out as one such dual‑event star. In the 200 m, he is clearly ranked top in 2025’s formcharts. (Track & Field News)

Meanwhile, in the 100 m, he also occupies a top‑10 slot in the Track & Field News formcharts. (Track & Field News)

At the U.S. Championships, Lyles clocked an impressive 19.63 in the 200 m to win the title. (Wikipedia)

This reinforces his dominance in the 200 m domain.

His 100 m performances in 2025 may not be his primary focus, but his inclusion in both event rankings indicates he has maintained elite speed across distances.

Lyles’s case is especially noteworthy, as top sprinters often lean toward one event to conserve energy and avoid overextension.

That he remains competitive in both marks his position at the very top of the sprinting hierarchy.

Kenny Bednarek

Kenny Bednarek is another sprinter who achieves this double distinction.

He is listed in the top 10 for the 100 m in the formcharts and best‑mark lists. (Track & Field News)

In the 200 m, he is also ranked inside the top positions. (Track & Field News)

At the U.S. Championships, Bednarek ran 19.67 to finish second in the 200 m. (FloTrack)

His ability to hold relatively high ranking in both events in 2025 marks him as a versatile and formidable sprinter.

Bednarek’s presence in both top‑10 lists shows that he is not just specializing in one event, but can threaten the top ranks in both the short and slightly longer sprint distances.

Courtney Lindsey

Courtney Lindsey also appears in both the 100 m and 200 m top‑10 formcharts. (Track & Field News)

While his 100 m results place him among the top sprinters, his 200 m performances also earn him a spot in the high rankings. (Track & Field News)

This dual recognition underscores his breadth across the sprint spectrum, albeit he may not be as dominant in either as Lyles or Bednarek, but remains competitive in both.

Why not a fourth?

One might hope for a fourth name making both lists, but the sources do not clearly show a fourth that unambiguously appears in both 100 m and 200 m top‑10 for 2025.

T’Mars McCallum, for example, is in the 100 m list, but not convincingly in the 200 m top‑10 in the data I saw. (Track & Field News)

Similarly, sprinters like Akani Simbine or Kishane Thompson feature strongly in the 100 m rankings, but I did not find matching high-level 200 m entries for them in the same sources.

The available top‑10 200 m formcharts (from Track & Field News) do not list them. (Track & Field News)

Thus, while in principle other athletes could make both lists (especially among those near the margins), the published data supports only three confirmed overlaps.

Significance & implications

That there are even three men in 2025 who rank top 10 in both sprint events is a testament to their range and durability.

Such dual ranking is uncommon because:

1. Event demands differ: The 100 m emphasizes explosive start, acceleration, and top speed over a shorter distance, whereas the 200 m adds a curved segment and longer maintenance of speed plus deceleration management.

2. Scheduling & peaking: Managing training and competition schedules to peak in both events is tricky.

3. Athletes may sacrifice one event to focus on the other.

4. Field depth: The sprint world is extremely deep — many specialists compete at a very high level in just one event, making it tougher to crack the top ranks in both.

Those who do manage dual top‑10 status often are among the elite few capable of truly competing across sprint distances — and their names tend to be remembered as versatile and exceptional.

While I couldn’t confidently name four, the evidence clearly supports three male sprinters in 2025 who hold top‑10 status in both the 100 m and 200 m: Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek, and Courtney Lindsey.

These athletes exemplify rare versatility in sprinting.

If you like, I can dig further (e.g. into national lists, diamond league datasets) to see if a credible fourth candidate exists. Would you like me try that?
