In August 2023, Lyles became a six-time world champion when he took home three gold medals in the 100m, 200m and relay in Budapest. He became the first man since Usain Bolt to complete the sprint treble at a World Championships and is placed second behind him on the 200m world all-time list at the World Athletics Championships. Lyles won two gold medals in the 200m and the relay at the 2019 World Championships held in Doha. In 2021, he went on to win his first ever Olympic bronze medal in Tokyo in the 200m men's final. Two years later, the 26-year-old claimed his second global title in the 200m and surpassed Michael Johnson's longstanding national record of 19.32 by running 19.31 which moved him to third on the world all-time list, winning gold and silver medals. Lyles has been quoted as saying, "To be honest, I just see myself as an athlete. Of course, I am black, and I do have that representation, but I feel I hate when I have to say that I am black. It's a tough journey no matter who you are, I feel that is important for all of us to recognize. I am going to show all my sides. Of course, I am going to show my black side - that's why I grow out my hair, plait my hair, wear it in different styles because I know that there is probably a black kid out there who's been told their hair is ugly and I'm out here, being a star, being seen on TV and going to the Olympics and showing that you can do your hair however you want, you're still going to be fine." We gon’ stall him out. Congratulations.
