'He'd have to sacrifice a lot'- Noah Lyles offers to train IShowSpeed for US Olympic trials ahead of LA 2028
Noah Lyles has offered to train IShowSpeed, only if he would agree to put his streaming career on a halt and change a few things about his lifestyle.
She then defended her title at the European Athletics Championships before heading to the UK Championships where she finished seventh in the 400m.
Hodgkinson won the FBK Games and then claimed top honours at the Diamond League Meeting in London before heading to the Paris Olympic Games where she claimed the Olympic title. She had to end her season after that after getting an injury.
Focus now shifts to 2025 after an eventful offseason and the main focus will be on the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China and the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan. This will also be helpful as preparations for the LA 2028 Olympic Games begin.
“We’ve seen all the hard work she’s been doing behind the scenes and I just know this will be the beginning for Keely,” Meadows said.
“She’s got huge ambitions in the sport and she won’t stop until she’s won at least another gold medal at LA 2028. She’ll probably go beyond that as well. We know when to push and back off and we’ve also trialled some things in training. Of course, it always relies on consistency.
“The big aim in 2025 would be to win both the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing and the World Outdoor Championships in Tokyo. Sounds easy doesn’t it?!”

‘I took it without thinking’ - Junelle Bromfield regrets her decision as attempt to cook for Noah Lyles runs into headwinds
Junelle Bromfield’s desire to cook for her fiancé Noah Lyles left her in a major dilemma as her choice of meal became too problematic to prepare.
“Physically we know Keely can run a 1:53 but 1:53.28 is something quite different. So 1:53 something in 2025 and hopefully we can push on in the future,” Meadows said.
