Heading into the Paris Olympics, Noah Lyles has never been faster. The American world champion warmed up for the Paris Games by setting a personal best in the 100 meters at Saturday's Diamond League meet in London, clocking 9.81 seconds to beat a strong field in the last major meet before the Olympics.
Saturday's result further underlines him as the favorite for the gold medal in Paris, where he can cement his status as the world's fastest man. And Lyles isn't shy about his goal at the Olympics. 'I'm going to win,' he said. 'That's what I always do.'
In the women's 200, Gabrielle Thomas came from behind to pass Julien Alfred and Dina Asher-Smith to win in 21.82.
