American Star Noah Lyles Turns 28, Sets Sights on Triple Gold at LA 2028

On his 28th birthday, American track and field superstar Noah Lyles didn’t just celebrate another year — he laid out an audacious vision for his future: winning three Olympic gold medals at the Los Angeles 2028 Games or becoming the undisputed king of global athletics.

Lyles, who already holds multiple World Championship titles and an Olympic gold in the 100 meters from Paris 2024, used his birthday to reflect and reset. Speaking ahead of the Diamond League event in London this weekend, he told reporters his next chapter would be defined by nothing less than dominance.

> “Either I’ll be dominating the sport or I’ll have three Olympic gold medals. Either one would be great,” Lyles said with characteristic confidence.

Though he didn’t confirm the exact events he’s targeting, it’s widely assumed Lyles is aiming for a sprint triple: gold in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and the 4×100 meter relay. It’s a feat only legends like Usain Bolt have achieved — but if anyone is capable of following in those footsteps, it’s Lyles.

After a mixed performance at Paris 2024 — including a hard-fought bronze in the 200 meters after battling illness — Lyles is more focused than ever. He recently bounced back with a strong 200-meter win in Monaco, clocking 19.88 seconds. Now he’s eyeing a strong finish to the 2025 season and a long-term build-up to LA.

But Lyles isn’t just about medals and sprints. He’s thinking bigger — much bigger.

The charismatic sprinter has launched his own production company, aiming to produce documentaries, sports shows, and even animation centered on athletics. He also hinted at possibly starting his own track and field league after the LA Olympics — part of a broader push to bring more attention and commercial power to the sport.

> “Track and field needs a new narrative, and I want to help tell it,” Lyles said.

A vocal advocate for mental health, Lyles has also made it clear he’s taking a new approach to Olympic preparation. For LA 2028, he’s requested to stay outside the Olympic Village, saying the environment can be overwhelming and distracting. Instead, he plans to have a personal team around him for focus and recovery — a strategy used by other elite athletes across various sports.

As the Diamond League circuit heats up and fans look toward the next World Championships in 2027, all eyes will be on Lyles. Can he sustain top form over the next three years? Can he make history on home soil in Los Angeles?

Whether or not he achieves triple gold, one thing is clear: Noah Lyles is shaping the future of track and field — both on the track and beyond it.
