About this listen
Noah Lyles has just added another historic chapter to his legacy by capturing the 200 meter title at the 2025 USA Outdoor Championships in Eugene with a world-leading 19.63 seconds, tying Michael Johnson’s record of five U.S. 200 meter championships. According to the Times of India, with this victory, Lyles uniquely joins the elite group of American sprinters—Maurice Greene and Justin Gatlin included—who’ve won national titles in the 60 meter indoor, 100 meter, and 200 meter outdoor events, a rare triple crown in track. If you’re counting, that’s national dominance few can claim, coming right on the heels of his dramatic Olympic gold in the 100 meters in Paris in 2024, where he edged Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by an impossibly slim 0.005 seconds in a finish that still has the athletics world talking.
In other news with potential long-term significance, Sportskeeda reports Lyles remains all business heading into the 2025 World Athletics Championships, which kick off in Tokyo next week. Lyles shared an update on X—formerly Twitter—announcing he’d landed in Japan, even tossing in a lighthearted call for karaoke partners, showing that his confidence and personality are as strong as ever. He’ll be defending his 100m and 200m world titles, facing rivals old and new like Kishane Thompson, Oblique Seville, and Kenny Bednarek. After his sixth career Diamond League title win in Zurich last week, Lyles admitted to his followers and the international press that he’s laser-focused, aiming not just for medals, but still quietly entertaining visions of breaking Usain Bolt’s venerated 200m world record.
On the personal and media front, Noah Lyles captured attention on social media with a post featuring him starstruck after meeting the legendary Merlene Ottey at a recent circuit, sharing the moment with his fans and spotlighting how even the biggest stars can be awed by legends. There’s also been some social media buzz about his relationship with Jamaican runner Junelle Bromfield, but reports from AOL clarified earlier this week that she remains cool and unfazed by the spotlight on the couple, keeping their private life grounded.
In public appearances, Lyles’s post-race interactions have been making news—particularly after the U.S. championships 200m final, where a heated on-track moment with Kenny Bednarek quickly resolved into a handshake and mutual respect. Lyles, now with six world titles and poised for more, continues to blend athletic dominance with media savvy, national pride, and an openness that has fans and headline writers alike watching his every move.
