Noah Lyles denied world indoor sprint title in Glasgow
Noah Lyles’s bid to win the indoor/outdoor sprint triple came up short on Friday evening in Glasgow as he finished three-hundredths of a second behind his Team USA rival Christian Coleman in the men’s 60m final at the 2024 World Indoor Championships.
Coleman ran a world-leading time of 6.41 seconds to win the gold. Lyles finished second with a time of 6.44 seconds. Jamaica’s Ackeem Blake came third, running 6.46.
This is Coleman’s second career world indoor 60m title, and also redemption after losing to Lyles at last month’s U.S. Indoor Championships. Coleman got out to an explosive start and never looked back, holding off a charging Lyles in the final 10 meters.

Despite losing to Coleman, Lyles was proud of his 60m world indoor silver medal. “I ran a PR and improved my 60m time; I am OK with this 6.44,” Lyles told Canadian Running. “This is the second-fastest time I’ve ever run, and people were saying I wasn’t a 60m guy–look at me now.”

Coleman and Lyles will likely be the favourites to win the men’s 100m title in Paris, but Lyles wants more. “I want to win everything and break world records while doing it,” says Lyles. “That’s the goal.”
