American sprinter Noah Lyles, who's expected to contend for gold, posted his slowest 100m time (10.04 seconds) in more than a year, as he places 2nd in his heat on the way to qualifying for Sunday's 100m semifinals.
SAINT-DENIS, France - Noah Lyles' Olympic Games have officially begun, but with a little less dazzle than anticipated.
"The plan was first. But it didn't happen. Second is fine. We'll make sure from here on out it's first." Once all eight heats were complete, Lyles' 10.04 seconds officially ranked as the 12th-best time of the day. It was his slowest run in more than a year, and his first run in 2024 at 10 seconds or more.
Lyles' run looked anything but easy. Mired in the middle of the pack for most of it, the reigning 100-meter world champion exploded late, before settling into second place.
