Noah Lyles shared his goals of being the fastest man in the 100m and 200m disciplines in 2024 (via The Inside Track of World Athletics podcast). He said:

"Specifically for this year, I want to consolidate myself as the fastest man in the world in the 100 and 200 meters. I definitely have my sights set on the American record in the 100 meters and even the world record.”

Lyles presently holds the American record in the 200m, previously held by Michael Johnson, as the 26-year-old clocked a time of 19.31s at the 2022 World Athletics Championships. He also has a personal best of 9.83s in the 100m.

Both the 100m and 200m world records are currently under the name of Usain Bolt, with times of 9.58s and 19.19s, respectively.
