Is Noah Lyles competing today? Olympics track and field schedule, times for Aug. 8

A brief moment of respite for the fastest man in the world at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

American sprinter Noah Lyles – who won his first Olympic gold medal with a win in the 100-meter sprint earlier this week – did not run in Round 1 of the 4x100-meter relay with Team USA. Though he's expected to compete in the event final, Lyles is instead preparing to run in the 200-meter sprint final later in the day.

A gold in the 200 final would give Lyles the Olympic sprint double. Should he achieve it, he would be the first American man to win the sprint double since Carl Lewis in 1984.

The 27-year-old could next set his sights on the Olympic treble – achieved by winning gold medals in the 100-meter, 200-meter and 4x100-meter relay events – if he participates in the 4x100 final as expected. The feat was last accomplished by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (he also did it in London in 2012).

Here's what you need to know about Lyles' schedule for Wednesday, Aug. 7:
