Noah Lyles has achieved what few sprinters in history have: he swept the 100, 200, and 4x100 relay at a single World Championships, matching Usain Bolt's 2015 triple. His 200-meter American record of 19.31 seconds places him third on the all-time list. He has broken 20 seconds in the 200 meters 37 times, more than any athlete ever. Lyles also owns an Olympic gold medal from the 2024 Paris Games, won in a photo finish that was decided by five-thousandths of a second. His seven world championship golds put him among the most decorated sprinters of his generation.
