Noah Lyles's 10 Fastest 100m Times After Personal Best in Final

Noah Lyles is back on the Olympic stage for the second time in his track & field career, having qualified for the 100m and 200m races in June at the U.S. Olympic Time Trials. He enters Paris as one of the likely medalist competitors in both events.

Lyles needs to first qualify through to the events, but it would be a massive upset to see him miss out on either event after great showings at trials in June.

As for the 100m race, Lyles has collected plenty of hardware from world events throughout the years, but never at an Olympic level. Here are his podiums in the 100m:

Event	Place	Year
Pan American U20 Champ	Silver	2015
World U20 Champ	Gold	2016
Continental Cup	Gold	2018
Diamond League	Gold	2019
World Championships	Gold	2023

Lyles did not participate in the 100m for the Tokyo games after finishing seventh in trials with a 10.05.

Based purely on personal records, Lyles should have a good shot at gold in Paris in this event. He's stated his intention multiple times is to win gold.
