Lyles then cruised to victory in the preliminary round, posting a score of 9.92. He was the only runner to finish under the 10-second mark.

Lyles, 26, represented Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics, claiming bronze in the 200m.
But as he's improved drastically since then, he's hoping to go even higher in Paris.
He's coming off a 2023 in which he won gold at the 2023 Budapest world championships in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
The semifinals and final of the men’s 100m will transpire Sunday.
Lyles will also be involved in the 200m events.
