Lyles will be looking to build on his momentum following Olympic triumph in the 100m and bronze medal in the 200m.
Olympic champion Noah Lyles is preparing for the 2025 season with a renewed focus and a key change in his approach.

'I can't believe it' - Olympic champion Noah Lyles ecstatic after recent milestone off the track
Olympic champion Noah Lyles celebrated reaching 250,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel where he shares a mixture of his athletics journey and lifestyle.
However, his performance in the 200m, his signature event, did not meet his high expectations.
Though still managing to secure a bronze medal with a time of 19.70 seconds, Lyles was visibly underwhelming.
He finished behind his compatriot Kenny Bednarek, who clocked 19.62 seconds, and Botswana's Letsile Tebogo, who clinched victory with an impressive 19.46 seconds.
It was later revealed that Lyles had been battling Covid during the race, which might have impacted his performance.
As the 2025 season approaches, Lyles is eager to to build on his Paris momentum.
Reflecting on his past seasons, Lyles shared in a recent training video that he plans to focus on one key aspect of his running technique.
"Every year I usually have something different. Like, 2022 was arm swing, 2024 was just power. This year I'm trying to be very intentional with my feet placement," said the Olympic champion, emphasizing the importance of precision in his stride mechanics.

'Just a mental screw up' - Why Kenny Bednarek is still reeling from Paris Olympics 100m finals loss
Olympic silver medalist Kenny Bednarek still remains devastated by his loss in the men's 100m final in Paris despite redemption in the 200m race.
Lyles’ offseason has been anything but quiet. Alongside his rigorous training regimen, he recently participated in a high-profile 50m charity race against YouTube sensation IShowSpeed. Lyles emerged victorious, pocketing a staggering $100,000 for his efforts.
This victory marked just one of the many ways the Olympic gold medalist has kept himself active during the break, as he sets his sights on peak fitness for the upcoming season.
