As the Adidas Atlanta City Games approach, Noah Lyles is gearing up to get his hands on the gold medal once again. The American sprint sensation will be defending his title in the 150m event at the Atlanta City Games. It is one of the most anticipated races as Lyles will be aiming to surpass Usain Bolt's mark at the 150m event. The '3-peat' sprinter has already begun the countdown.

Noah Lyles competed in the 150m at the Adidas Atlanta City Games in 2023. He clocked a blistering 14.56 seconds to win the race ahead of his fellow contenders. His timing stands No. 3 on the list after Usain Bolt's 14.35s and Tyson Gay's 14.41s.

Lyles is all geared up for the event as is evident from his social media post. He shared a video from last year's race and expressed his excitement by starting the countdown to the Atlanta City Games. The video carried a powerful introduction of Noah Lyles. It said:

"Our final athlete tonight, the ultimate entertainer, a man of fashion, art, and all things athletic and he is hoping to do something special for you tonight and he's already down the track, American Noah Lyles."

The post's caption read:

"3 Days Away!"

Noah Lyles will be competing against some of the best athletes in the 150m category. His brother Josephus Lyles will also be running in this event. Some of the other competitors are Zharnel Hughes, Alexander Ogando and Akani Simbine.
