Noah Lyles impressive performance at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston is another warning to his rivals and audacious ambitions ahead of the Paris Olympic Games.

World's fastest man Noah Lyles has got his eyes set on an iconic Olympic Games after clocking the 60m world-leading time at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston.

Lyles defeated a stacked field for the 60m win, blazing to a brilliant Personal Best (PB) time of 6.44s ahead of Jamaica's Ackeem Blake, in a Season's Best of 6.45s and Ronnie Baker in 6.54s.

After his race, the American speedster made an ambitious statement warning his rivals: "I don't care who wants them, they're mine" - a reference to going for another three-peat of gold medals at the Paris Olympic Games.

Backing this up that he wasn't stuttering when it was said, Lyles then posted on his Instagram page his clear ambitions in Paris, "Another 3 peat, @olympics get ready!," he wrote.

While his bragging and audacious statements seem like a disrespect to his competitors, the 2023 World Athletics Track Athlete of the Year is known to always back up these bold claims with actions.

At the World Championships in Budapest, he won three gold medals (100m, 200m, and 4x100m), thus becoming the third American athlete in history to achieve such a feat and the second since the legendary Usain Bolt.

With his impressive performance in Boston, which is a massive time drop from his previous PB of 6.51s, he's definitely in better shape than last season.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Lyles's ambition of having another iconic outing in Paris by claiming another three-peat of gold medals or perhaps a quadruple is on the right path.
