The 2024 Paris Olympics are just around the corner, but before the world’s elite athletes can shine on the grandest stage, they must first secure their spots. That’s where the high-stakes Olympic trials come into play, where star athletes vie for the honor of wearing their country’s colors at the most prestigious sporting event in existence.
Among the hopefuls this week at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, is none other than Noah Lyles. Fresh off his golden trifecta at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, where he snagged top honors in the 100m, 200m, and the 4x100m relay, Lyles is out to prove he’s the fastest man alive. The last person to accomplish such a feat? The legendary Usain Bolt in 2015.
Despite his impressive resume, Lyles isn’t just handed a ticket to Paris. He’s got to earn it, and the pressure is on. He’ll be sprinting in both the 100m and 200m races, aiming to secure his place on Team USA.
So, as we inch closer to the Paris Olympics, keep an eye on the trials. It’s where the dreams begin, the drama unfolds, and the future Olympians are forged.
Is Noah Lyles running tonight?
Noah Lyles gears up for his first lap around the track in the men’s 200-meter event this Thursday at 10:33 p.m. ET. While Lyles has already clinched his spot in the Olympics with a commanding victory in the men’s 100-meter dash, he’s not one to rest on his laurels. With his sights set on doubling his chances, Lyles is eyeing another shot in the 200-meter. If all goes according to plan, you can catch him in action again on Friday for the semifinals and Saturday for what promises to be an electrifying final showdown.
