Newly Married Noah Lyles Targets 150m Record with Subtle Dig at Kishane Thompson

Reigning Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles has aimed a subtle dig at Kishane Thompson’s newly set 150m world record.

Competing at the Miramar Invitational, a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver meeting, in Florida, USA, on Saturday, Kishane Thompson clocked an impressive 14.92 (1.3m/s).

Kishane Thompson was competing for the first time since winning 60m silver at the World Athletics Indoor Championships. In the race, Zimbabwe’s Olympic and world 200m finalist Tapiwanashe Makarawu finished second in 14.96 seconds.

After his wedding to Junelle Bromfield, Noah Lyles has announced his comeback with a reaction to the Olympic 100m silver medallist’s impressive run at the Miramar Invitational.

The four-time world 200m champion shared a post on his social media handle, revealing that he will be in action at the Ostrava Golden Spike, a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold, on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

The American sprint king will compete over the 150m distance, and he has seemingly expressed intentions to lower the world best set by Kishane Thompson.

“What's the world record in the 150m again,” Noah Lyles said.

The world 100m bronze medallist’s personal best time in the 150m is 14.41 seconds, achieved on May 18, 2024, at the Adidas Atlanta City Games. This time equals the American record set by Tyson Gay in 2010.

Noah Lyles started his season with the 300m at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, crossing the finish line in a time of 32.15 seconds.

The American sprint king then proceeded to the Tyson Invitational, where he won the 200m in a time of 20.56 seconds. Noah Lyles rounded up his indoor campaign with a third-place finish in 6.51 seconds at the USA Indoor Championships.

He then took time off to prepare for his wedding and has since confirmed his return to the track, aiming to make a strong impact in the races he has lined up so far.
