Noah Lyles shared glimpses of his training session as he returned to the track after a victorious campaign at the Paris Olympics. The American athlete revealed that he has begun training for the upcoming track season.

The 27-year-old athlete began the 2024 season as the defending champion with the goal of winning three Olympic gold medals. Lyles kicked off his season with indoor races, where he competed in the USATF Indoor Grand Prix and defeated Christian Coleman. He then competed in the World Indoor Athletics Championships to win silver medals in the 60m and the 4x400m relay.

Noah Lyles then marched on to the outdoor season with the Paris Olympics in foresight. After multiple appearances in Grand Prix and Diamond League events, Lyles emerged as one of the top contenders for the Olympic medals in the 100m and the 200m. The American athlete won the men's 100m gold medal at the Paris Olympics after a photo finish with Jamaica's Kishane Thompson.

Misfortune struck the athlete before the 200m finals when he was diagnosed with COVID-19. However, despite the diagnosis, Lyles decided to compete in the finals and finished third. He decided to withdraw from the 4x100m and ultimately concluded his season. Over two months after the Paris Olympics, he shared an update with his fans as he returned to the track.

Along with a couple of pictures on Instagram, Lyles live-streamed his entire training session on his official YouTube channel, raising anticipation among fans for the upcoming season.

"2025 Season ⏳," he wrote.
