Olympic 100m Champion Noah Lyles Launches Season With 6.62Sec 60m
America's Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles launched his 2025 season with a 60m victory in 6.62sec at an indoor university meeting in Gainesville, Florida, on Saturday. Lyles, who hadn't raced since winning gold in a scintillating 100m final and 200m bronze in Paris last year, cruised to victory -- clocking 6.62 in both his heat and the final. His opening time of the season put him a tick behind Olympic 100m runner-up Kishane Thompson of Jamaica, who clocked 6.56sec on Saturday in Kazakhstan in the first indoor 60m of his career.
