Sprinter Noah Lyles will compete in his first 100m event of the season at the London leg of the Diamond League, a week after returning to action with a top showing at the Monaco Diamond League.
The 27-year-old American, who took the top spot in the 200m at Monaco, opened up about the challenging time he faced on the sidelines but added that he was glad about his return to the circuit ahead of the World Championships, slated to be held in September in Tokyo.
“I have a bye for the US Trials, which makes it less stressful because it gives us the time to work on the races,” Lyles said.
“It gives us time to see what works and what doesn’t and to be able to make moves from there,” he added.
Lyles edged out Pairs Olympics gold medallist Letsile Tebogo in the 200m event in the event at the mnicipality of Monaco with a effort of 19.88sec.
Lyles’ return adds further star power to a stacked roster in the program that includes Tebogo, home hope Louie Hinchliffe, World indoor champion Jeremiah Azu and World 100m bronze medallist Zharnel Hughes, Jamaicans Oblique Seville and Ackeem Blake, and Akani Simbine of South Africa.
