More line in the men's 100 meter final on Day Three 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials Track & Field at Hayward Field on June 23, 2024 in Eugene, Oregon. (Photo by) Olympic and world champion Noah Lyles will be looking to earn his seventh and eighth national titles this weekend at Hayward Field. Lyles hasn't competed much this season as he took a three-month break from racing after sustaining an injury in April. His first race back was a 200-meter clash between him and Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo at the Monaco Diamond League. Lyles won in 19.88 for his season opener. A week later, he took on a tough field in the 100-meter dash at the London Diamond League. Although he lost to Olympic finalist Oblique Seville, he ran 10.00, which is one of Lyles' fastest season openers in the event. Despite not racing as much as he typically does, the Olympic champion seems to be in great shape ahead of the weekend. Since Lyles is the reigning world champion in both events, he has the bye, meaning he will race in Tokyo regardless of his finish this weekend. As stated in a press conference before the London Diamond League, he will run the rounds of both events to develop race sharpness and to earn the titles he has been defending for years. EUGENE, OREGON - JUNE 30: Gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone poses with the gold medal after ... More setting a new world record in the women's 400 meter hurdles final on Day Ten of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field on June 30, 2024 in Eugene, Oregon. (Photo by) Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone will be taking on a new event this year at the U.S. Championships. McLaughlin-Levrone, the six-time world record holder in the 400-meter hurdles, is opting against running her signature event in Eugene. Instead, she will run the 400-meter dash in hopes of pushing her already dominant legacy to new heights. McLaughlin-Levrone wanted to attempt this same plan in 2023, but unfortunately became injured, pulling out of the U.S. championships and did not compete at the Budapest world championships that year. This means, unlike Lyles, she does not have the bye in any event. Her decision to race in the 400-meter dash this week means her only way to Tokyo is to place in the top three. The world record holder is hoping to break the 48.70 American record in the 400-meter dash held by the legendary Sanya Richard-Ross. In 2023, McLaughlin-Levrone was just shy of breaking it, running 48.74. In addition to rewriting history, she is looking forward to taking on Olympic champion and Olympic silver medalist Marileidy Paulino and Salwa Eid Naser this September, both of whom have faster personal bests than hers. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 24: Quincy Wilson of Bullis School (MD) competes in the boys ... More 4x400 meter relay during Penn Relays at Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania on April 24, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) While veterans like Lyles and McLaughlin-Levrone have their work cut out for them, there are some high school phenoms looking to upset the fields this weekend. At the top of the list is Olympic gold medalist Quincy Wilson, who just broke another U18 world record a few weeks ago in Memphis. He sits third overall in the U.S. rankings with a time of 44.10. Along with Wilson will be some of his teammates from Bullis, University of Florida commit Sydney Sutton, and freshman Parker Coes. Some other high schoolers with their eyes set on a Team USA uniform are Tate Taylor and Maurice Gleaton. Taylor set a new high school national record in the 100-meter dash this year of 9.92 seconds. He also broke Lyle's indoor national record in the 200-meter dash. Gleaton runs 9.98 in the 100-meter dash and is committed to the University of Georgia. EUGENE, OREGON - JUNE 12: JaMeesia Ford of the South Carolina Gamecocks competes in the 200 meter ...

Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images) Some collegiate athletes have a strong chance at securing their spots in Tokyo. Two-time national champion and two-time SEC champion Jordan Anthony is a strong contender to make the team in the 100-meter dash. Anthony, recently turning pro with Adidas, now trains with Lyles. T'Mars McCallum from the University of Tennessee ran a world lead in the 200-meter dash several weeks ago and will be looking to repeat that magic in Eugene this week. Jameesia Ford is another notable name who can shake up the women's 200-meter dash field. Ford broke Allyson Felix's previous USA U20 record in the event, earned four SEC titles at this year's conference championships, and is the NCAA national champion in the 200-meter dash.

How Lydia Ko's Husband Helped Save LPGA Legend's Hall of Fame Career
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Lydia Ko, the 23-time LPGA winner, tasted success remarkably early, but her journey was not without its share of challenges and mental stress - the kind that often accompanies a professional golfing career. And the fun fact? She still embraces them all, as seen in her latest interview with The three-time Olympic champion walked viewers through the significance of each trophy in her 'trophy room', including her early wins. PARIS, FRANCE - AUGUST 10: Lydia Ko of Team New Zealand reacts following victory on Day Four of the Women's Individual Stroke Play on day fifteen of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Le Golf... PARIS, FRANCE - AUGUST 10: Lydia Ko of Team New Zealand reacts following victory on Day Four of the Women's Individual Stroke Play on day fifteen of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Le Golf National on August 10, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) More Getty Images The LPGA pro started winning at just 15, bagged the player of the year award at just 17 when she was just 'the girl in specs.' In total, Ko snagged 14 titles as a teenager. But just like her success came early, Ko was quick to decide on her retirement from professional golf. It happened last year after the 28-year-old opened the lid on her retirement plan before 30, just as she grabbed the Olympic golf medal. That move sparked curiosity, with some speculating that Ko might be seeking a better work-life balance, similar to LPGA star Lexi Thompson, who transitioned to part-time golf. Ko's own words offer insight into the pressures she faced, as she sarcastically remarked, "Oh, I cry about golf all the time," during the interview. She further elaborated on her emotional struggles, recalling a particularly tough moment at age 12: "I remember when I was 12, I had to play 36 strokes or something for my birthday, for my New Zealand stroke play and I shot like 79 and was like - 'I suck, I hate golf, I hate me.'" The vivid memory of that frustration was etched in her mind, especially since it happened while she was "eating Korean black bean noodles and just like crying." Ko's intense passion for the game was evident, as she explained that her emotional investment brought both "happy tears and upset tears." As Lydia Ko opened up about her struggles, she shares one particularly upsetting moment that is still clear in her mind. It was when the pro was 23, playing at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Ko recounted: "I had a really good round the first day at the Walmart and it was the first time I kind of shot under par in a couple months." She carded 71 in the first round. Sadly, her momentum faltered the next day, as she struggled with consistency, hitting "a few chips like in the same up and down, up and down." Ko shared how, out of frustration, she called her husband Jun, saying, "No, I don't know why."

(Photo by) More Getty Images She further shared how Jun's calm response, "Hey, like golf is not just it to your life," offered a different perspective. Yet, her frustration ran deep, making the situation intensely personal. Ko admitted that when Jun tried to calm her down, she argued, "You don't know what you're talking about it. It's just everything was just so personal." As Ko reflected on her relationship with her husband, it became clear that his presence has been a game-changer in her life and career. It was also evident as Lydia shared, "Golf takes up a lot of time, and my identity is so connected to it," she confessed, revealing the all-consuming nature of her profession. However, Jun's presence has helped her realize that there's more to her identity than just being "the golfer Lydia Ko." This shift in perspective has been instrumental in bringing balance to her life, allowing her to navigate the pressures of professional golf with greater ease and perspective. The stellar impact is also visible in her recent performance. The 28-year-old is still on the run actively, as reflected by her recent win on March 2nd, where she carded a 3-under 69 to snag the HSBC Women's World Championship title. Beyond being a calming influence, Jun also shares her passion for golf, and the couple has developed a deeper bond over shared moments, both on and off the course.

Simone Biles refused to see common sense question before mocking Riley Gaines
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Her medals, fame and fortune won — presumably fairly — Simone Biles now has an international forum to advocate for unfair play, aka cheating. Biles last week publicly trash-tweeted unabashed fair-play advocate Riley Gaines for her front-and-center activism to rid girls and women's sports of former males increasingly competing as women in winning formerly level-fielded competitions. Advertisement 7 Gold medalist Simone Biles of Team United States celebrates on the podium during the medal ceremony for the Artistic Gymnastics Women's Vault Final on day eight of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Bercy Arena on August 3, 2024. Getty Images Gaines — having finished second in the 2022 NCAA women's swimming championships to Penn's Lia Thomas, a 6-foot-1 trans who also swam on Penn's men's team — blew her whistle on behalf of other talented, trained and fully committed female athletes who have and continue to suffer a similar fate.
