Biography

American sprinting superstar Noah Lyles boasts an impressive string of accolades, including Olympic bronze, six world titles, and four Diamond League Final trophies.

Lyles delivered his crowning achievement at the 2023 World Championship in Budapest, where he retained his 200m crown from 2019 and 2022 to complete the three-peat. In the process, he claimed a rare sprint treble, winning gold in the 100m, 200m, and the 4x100m relay, the first man to do so since Jamaican icon Usain Bolt in 2015.

A longtime admirer of Bolt, Lyles has expressed his desire to break the Jamaican's longstanding records in the 100m and 200m events.

"I've always known that I'm the fastest man in the world,” he told the media after his triumph in Hungary. “Well, in my head, I think I'm going to break it. I'm planning to break it.”

Lyles has revealed an audacious plan for Paris 2024, a bid to win four gold medals by adding the 4x400m relay to his repertoire at the global showpiece.

The day I think I can’t be beat is the day that I will slip up and somebody will come and beat me.”
