Noah Lyles eyes creative ventures and track dominance by 2028 LA Olympics
Olympic champion Noah Lyles, who is set to compete in his first 100m event of the season at the London leg of the Diamond League, shared his ambitious plans for both his athletic career and future endeavours on Friday.
The 28-year-old sprinter is looking beyond the track, with aspirations to make his mark in the entertainment industry. “I expect to do a lot of things outside the track. I’ve started a new production company, so probably having a few shows out in the world, something to with the track, some probably not. Maybe making a cartoon movie made about sport will be cool,” he said.
On the athletic front, Lyles, who will be 32 after the LA 2028 Olympics, has set lofty goals. He envisions either “taking over the track world or have three Olympic gold medals by then”, possibly even starting his own track and field league.
Lyles recently returned to competition at the Monaco Diamond League, where he secured a first-place finish in the 200m. He acknowledged the challenges of being sidelined but expressed his satisfaction at being back on the circuit ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo this September.
