Track and field athletes take center stage on Saturday to showcase their skills at the Stade de France at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
U.S. track athlete Noah Lyles made his official Paris Olympic Games debut and successfully advanced from the preliminary rounds of the 100-meter dash.

Lyles, who currently claims the nickname "the fastest man in the world," secured the title after winning both the 100 and 200 meters at the 2023 World Athletics Championship in Budapest. However, his start in Paris was not as he expected, adding an element of surprise to his performance.
In Lyles's preliminary heat on Saturday, the American engaged in a fierce competition, finishing second to Great Britain's Louie Hinchliffe — who trained with American Olympic champion Carl Lewis — with a time of 10.04 seconds. Despite a slower start than expected, Lyles has advanced to Sunday's 100-meter semifinals along with Team USA's Kenny Bednarek and Fred Kerley.
