Noah Lyles is a professional track and Field Sprinter of America. He participates in 100m, 200m, and 600 m events. 200-meter individual best time of Noah Lyles 19.30 seconds, which is also the American record, places him third all-time in the event. He has won six world titles and two medals at the Olympics.
USA’s Noah Lyles won three world championship titles, a gold medal from the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, and a bronze medal from the 2020 Olympics in the 200 meters. Due to his accomplishments in 2023, he was the first person to complete the sprint treble at a world championship after Usain Bolt in 2015.
Noah Lyles Gold Medal
On day 9 of the Summer Paris Olympics 2024, American Noah Lyles earned gold in the men's 100-meter sprint. The race was so close that the announcers were doubtful of the winner.
Since Justin Gatlin in 2004, Lyles is the only American to win gold in the 100-meter race. After his victory, he posted a photo of himself performing his trademark "Kamehameha" dance, which is featured in the Japanese TV show "Dragon Ball."
Fred Kerley of Team USA won the bronze medal with a time of 9.81 seconds.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Lyles already won bronze in the 200-meter sprint. He is back in action in Paris, competing in the 200-meter and 4x100-meter relays.
Noah Lyles Performance in Competition
After the official timings were released, Lyles was found to have finished marginally ahead of Kishane Thompson of Jamaica; their respective times were 9.784 and 9.789 seconds. Lyles' .005-second advantage made it one of the closest sprints in Games history.
Lyles got out to a poor start, but he cranked up the pace in the last stages at the Stade de France in Paris to win his first Olympic gold medal.
He was the last to react to the gun, coming in ninth after the first 40 meters. After overtaking American teammate Kenneth Bednarek at 50 meters, he raced to third place by 60 meters, chasing Thompson, the fastest man going into the best races. He would hold that position for only 30 more meters.
Lyles and Thompson began to lean into the finish line with five other sprinters by the last ten meters. The 27-year-old Lyles' best result in the 100-meter sprint marks his first Olympic medal in the competition.
