As he preps for the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials and, he hopes, the 2024 Paris Olympics, Richard shared a FaceTime call he had with Lyles on his Instagram page:

After all that, maybe the best part is Lyles' comment on the post: "Don’t worry buddy I’ll have you catching tickets in school zones."
Richard, a student-athlete at the University of Michigan, will make his Olympic debut in Paris if he is named to the U.S. men's gymnastics team after the Gymnastics Trials from July 27 to 30. Lyles, who won a 200m bronze medal in Tokyo, will race at the Track & Field Trials from June 21 to 29 to earn his spot in Paris.
