Noah Lyles teases major endorsement deals and business moves while adjusting to his new-found fame after Olympic glory.

Noah Lyles has hinted at dropping major news concerning the endorsement deals he has signed following his exploits that earned him an Olympic gold medal in the 100m in 2024.

The three-time world 200m champion explained that winning the 100m was one of the best things that happened at the Paris Olympic Games and the good outweighs the bad.

Noah Lyles further pointed out that he will be making some announcements concerning the milestones he has achieved, noting that there are several brands he has been working with and will be letting the fans know about the milestones.

At the Olympic Games, Noah Lyles clocked an impressive 9.79 seconds to cross the finish line first ahead of Kishane Thompson and Fred Kerley who clocked respective times of 9.79 seconds and 9.81 seconds.

Fans and experts admitted that the Olympic 100m final was one of the closest and most historic races since Noah Lyles won with a margin of five-thousandths of a second.

“But yeah, at the same time, it’s definitely been fun an exciting. On the business side, you know, a lot of doors have been opening and I’m hoping to share a lot of big news soon,” Noah Lyles said in a pre-race press conference ahead of the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix.

He joined triple Olympic champion Gabby Thomas and tennis star Coco Gauff to lament the number of stalkers increasing.

Noah Lyles revealed that he has had people stalking him following his new-found fame after the Olympic Games.

Gabby Thomas shared a video on TikTok, asking her followers for advice as she claimed that a group of men seemed to be stalking her across the country.

She revealed that there were about three to six men who appeared to have access to her flight information, showing up at various airports. Coco Gauff also raised the same concerns.

"Walking around, people would easily notice me on the street a lot more than not. I don’t think I have been outside has not recognised me in some capacity,” Noah Lyles added.

“That’s good and bad at the same time. You know, I’ve had my fair share of stalkers recently.”

Meanwhile, after the Olympic Games, Noah Lyles did not race again for the whole of 2024 and made his season debut at the RADD Sports College Invitational and Multi-Event.

He will also be looking to defend his title at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on Sunday as he builds up for title defense at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
