Noah Lyles has unveiled his ambitious plans for the coming seasons as he teased fans about eyeing the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

Noah Lyles is already thinking about competing at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games weeks after racing at the Paris Olympic Games.

In an interview with the Spun, Noah Lyles explained that his family comprises Olympians and his career revolves around competing, the reason behind his desire to feature in as many events as he can.

The three-time world 200m champion noted that the LA 2028 Olympic Games are the first on his mind before Brisbane as he looks to continue competing for as long as he can.

“I think of my career as a whole. A lot of people are like, ‘Are you thinking of going to LA?’ I’m planning on going to Brisbane (in 2032) (laughs). Of course, I’m thinking about LA. I come from a family of track and field athletes, not just athletes but Olympians,” Noah Lyles said.

“I thought becoming an Olympian was like getting a driver’s license - you study up for it then go out and get it. Being around three-time Olympians, four-time Olympians, five-time Olympians (my whole life), it was just natural to be an Olympian growing up,” he added.

The triple world champion did not have his dream Olympic Games in Paris, managing to win only one Olympic gold medal and a bronze. He claimed gold in the men’s 100m, beating Kishane Thompson to second place.

In the men’s 200m, Noah Lyles managed to claim a bronze medal after testing positive for COVID-19. Letsile Tebogo won the race as Kenny Bednarek finished second. Lyles did not race in the men’s 4x100m relay due to his condition when the American team was disqualified due to faulty baton exchanges.

“So of course, I want to go to LA. I want that to be my greatest Olympics ever. It’s rare that you ever get a chance to run at the Olympics but even more doing it in the US,” he said.
