Injured Lyles Shuts Down Season, Will Miss Ultimate Championships
Lyles said a small hamstring strain has made it hard to practice, and he will focus on recovery for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
- On Friday, Olympic 100-meter champion Noah Lyles announced he has ended his 2026 season due to injury, withdrawing from next week's World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
- Lyles and his coach decided to end the campaign after a minor strain suffered at the U.S. outdoor championships in July caused subsequent physical complications that hampered his training.
- The withdrawal marks a significant blow to the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships, which features a record $10-million prize purse, as Lyles revealed he 'felt a grabbing sensation' earlier this season.
- Despite withdrawing from competition, Lyles confirmed he will still travel to Budapest to support fellow athletes, stating, 'I still do have a party to throw.'
- With an eye on the next two seasons, Lyles said the decision prioritizes preparation for the 2027 World Championships in Beijing and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
