Noah Lyles had an injury-interrupted season, but his 200m season-best of 19.51s, clocked in the semifinals of the 2025 World Athletics Championships, remains the fastest time in the world this year.

In a September 2025 interview with Speakeasy, Noah Lyles opened up about the biggest struggles he faced on his path to becoming one of the fastest sprinters in history.

"I'd say the two hardest things were going through asthma as a kid, constantly having to go to the doctor, constantly having an issue with breathing. Hearing every day, 'Mom, I want to play sports.' And her saying, 'Let's just make sure that you can breathe first.' That was a dream of mine to play sports. I would be willing to die to go out there to attempt to play sports."

"And then the second thing would be going through school, having dyslexia, having ADHD, trying to go through normal standardized testing and constantly being thrashed against the school system for a learning strategy that just doesn't work for me," Lyles added. (16:02 onwards)

Junelle Bromfield was also present in Tokyo to cheer for Lyles. The pair began dating in 2022, are planning a spring wedding in 2026
