Noah Lyles won his 100m heat on July 31 in the first day of the USA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, but he later announced he's done with the 100m. 

Lyles, the 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist in the 100m, will skip the rest of the rounds and focus on the 200m this week. The move comes as Lyles is already qualified for the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo in the 100m. He ran his first 200m race of the season at Diamond League Monaco.

One of the world's biggest track and field stars, Lyles ran the 100m in 10.5 on Thursday to win his heat. 

The men's 200m races are Sunday, Aug. 3, the final day of the meet. The men's 200m semifinal is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. ET with finals at 5:22 p.m. ET.
