Noah Lyles says he wants to win “all the Olympic medals” after setting a personal best in winning the 60m at the Boston Indoor Grand Prix.
The American, 26, triumphed in 6.44 seconds, the fastest time of 2024 and 0.10 seconds off Christian Coleman’s indoor world record.
Lyles, the 100m, 200m and 4x100m world champion, is set to race in all three events at this summer’s Paris Olympics.
“I don’t care who wants it. It’s mine,” he said.
“I just improved my 60m, the worst part of my race. It’s dangerous out here.
“I’m just thinking about in 2022 when I PR’ed [set a personal record] and I ran an American record and last year when I PR’ed at this meet and I became the three-time world champion.
“Now I’m looking another major PR.
“Guess what that means? We’re coming after everything – all the Olympic medals.”
Lyles won by 0.01 seconds from Jamaica’s Ackeem Blake, with American Ronnie Baker third.
The World Indoor Championships take place in Glasgow from 1-3 March and the Olympics begin on 26 July.
