Olympic Sprint Champion Noah Lyles ‘Super Excited’ About Racing Toward World Title Defenses

Noah Lyles returned from injury to run 9.90 seconds, aiming to defend his world titles at the upcoming championships, officials said.

  • American sprinter Noah Lyles is preparing to defend his 100 and 200 meters titles at the world championships opening September 13 in Tokyo.
  • Lyles lost weeks of training to an injury in April but has since made progress, with only three 100-meter races since mid-July compared to others' eight to ten.
  • He recently ran a 9.90-second 100 meters in Poland, his first sub-10-second time this season, and is due to run a 200 meters in Zurich next week as part of his final preparations.
  • Lyles expressed enthusiasm about his development, noting that his body is adapting to the increased speed and that he can feel positive results on the horizon.
  • These performances and scheduled races suggest Lyles aims to peak for Tokyo, building on his automatic entries as the defending champion in both sprints from two years ago.
