Noah Lyles turned up the heat at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon, burning past rivals to win the 100m final in 9.83 seconds—securing his ticket to the Paris Games with style. 🌟 The world champion surged ahead mid-race, leaving Kenny Bednarek (9.87s) and Tokyo silver medalist Fred Kerley (9.88s) in his dust.
Lyles, 26, flipped the script from three years ago when he nearly missed the Tokyo Olympics 100m final. Now, he’s eyeing four golds in Paris: “Part of the plan,” he smirked post-race. “Might be a shock to everyone else, but when you know the goal, you know the goal.” 🗣️🔥
2019 world champ Christian Coleman led early but fizzled to fourth (9.93s), while Lyles channeled past frustrations into rocket fuel. “That Tokyo bronze lit a fire,” he said. “Now? We’re rewriting history.”
Next up: Lyles’ signature 200m event starting Thursday. Can he add more bling to his collection? 💍🇫🇷 Stay tuned!
