Lyles outlines American-record and LA Olympics plan
Lyles aims to improve on 9.79 and pursue American records, identifying the first 30 metres as a key technical focus. After withdrawing due to injury, he plans fewer appearances and a training-centered 2027–2028 build-up toward the Los Angeles Olympics; a possible 2027 World Championships sprint double remains unconfirmed. Long jump is only a speculative suggestion, with no evidence of a plan or timeline.
