Noah Lyles doesn’t like the one Olympic medal he has, a bronze he won in the 200 meters at the Tokyo Olympics. Sunday, he’ll take another step toward adding Olympic gold to his trophy case.

Lyles is the main event Sunday at the Olympic Track & Field Trials, where the men’s 100-meter final is scheduled for 10:49 p.m. ET at Hayward Field. He will first run in the semis, scheduled for 8:48 pm ET.

He told reporters after his first round that his goal is to break 9.8 seconds in what is considered his second-best event (the 200 is his best event).Other finals scheduled for Sunday include the women’s 400 meters, men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, men’s pole vault, men’s javelin and women’s hammer throw. The women’s 800 semifinals will also be run, featuring American superstar Athing Mu.

Noah Lyles might currently own the fastest man in the world crown, but Usain Bolt remains the fastest man ever.

The Jamaican superstar still holds the world record in the 100 with a time of 9.58. He set the world record in 2009. It’s the only 100-meter time in history under 9.60. Bolt owns the three fastest 100-meter times ever (9.58, 9.63 and 9.69).

Bolt retired from track and field in 2017 with eight Olympic gold medals and 11 world championship golds. — Tyler Dragon

Heptathlon favorite Anna Hall is leading after two events.

Hall is on top of the standings with 2,077 points following the 100-meter hurdles and high jump. Chari Hawkins (2,074) and Taliyah Brooks (2,046) are second and third, respectively.

The women will compete in the shot put at 9:10 p.m. ET and 200 at 10:26 p.m. ET. — Tyler Dragon

Noah Lyles will have some company in the 100 semifinals. His younger brother, Josephus.

Josephus finished fourth in his heat and equaled a season-best 10.10 in the opening round of the 100 meters to advance to Sunday evening’s semifinal round. Josephus will be in the first semifinal heat in lane three.

Noah, who had the top qualifying mark in the 100 at 9.92, is in the second heat.

The 100 semifinals are scheduled for 8:48 p.m. ET. — Tyler Dragon
