Noah Lyles, considered in many respects to be the "world's fastest man," is seeking to put a lock on that title and win his first Olympics gold in Paris.
Lyles won the 200m bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, his only Olympics medal, in his career. But he's not unfamiliar with golden medals, having won the gold in the 2023 Budapest World Championships in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay. He was the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to win both the 100m and 200m at a world championships.
Lyles, 27, is expected to run in the 100m, 200m, and the 4x100m relay at the Paris Olympics.
He's one of Team USA's brightest and biggest stars and continues to expand his repertoire. When he won the 200m bronze in Tokyo, that was his main event, but now he's added the 100m to become the world reigning champion in both events.
In Paris, Lyles could become the first American since Carl Lewis to win gold in both the 100m and 200m at the same Olympics.
