The 2024 World Athletics Relays are proving to be a major stepping stone for the global track and field stars on their way to Paris. With the chance to qualify for the upcoming Olympics, athletes are giving their best to make sure their respective countries are represented on the big stage this July. However, the Bahamas tournament did not turn out fruitful for Marcell Jacobs and Team Italy. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Marcell Jacobs is a force to be reckoned with in 100m sprint events. His two golds at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics both came in these events (100m and 4x100m relay) and the 29-year-old has been gearing up to defend his title at the French capital later this year. However, at the Bahamas Relays, being held at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium, the Italian men’s relay team was disqualified, ending Jacobs’ dream to compete in the 4x100m relay race two months later at the world’s biggest sporting event. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/marcell-jacobs-1.png] Jacobs is easily one of the most recognizable faces in the track and field community, who shot to worldwide fame after a glorious performance at the 2021 Summer Olympics. Now, as his possibility to defend his gold medal is shattered, the fans wait for more light on the matter that got the team of Roberto Rigali, Jacobs, Lorenzo Patta, and Filippo Tortu out of the competition. Team USA (Courtney Lindsey, Kenneth Bednarek, Kyree King, and Noah Lyles) went on to win the event, with Canada and France coming second and third, respectively. But Jacobs’ fate hasn’t been a one-off thing at the Bahamas event. 2024 WORLD ATHLETICS RELAYS WITNESS TO ANOTHER BIZARRE INCIDENT Only yesterday, the USA suffered a massive blow as the men’s 4x400m relay team was disqualified [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-usas-paris-olympics-tickets-snatched-away-for-mens-four-x-four-hundred-m-team-who-suffer-dq-at-world-athletics-bahamas-relays/]. The shocking decision came after Champion Allison tried to exchange his starting position with a Japanese sprinter at the starting line while waiting for the baton to be passed to him by Christopher Bailey. It was later revealed that Allison didn’t consult with the tournament officials about changing his lane, which resulted in the entire team being deemed unfit to partake in the event. Luckily, they qualified for the Olympics by finishing in the top two of a repechage round on Sunday. Apart from this, several good things came their way in the event. Team USA triumphed in four out of five events by winning gold in the women’s 4x100m relays, the 4x400m women’s relays, the men’s 4x100m relays and the mixed 4x400m relays. Noah Lyles put on another stellar performance to anchor the USA’s momentum in the 4x100m race, while Olympic medalist Gabby Thomas contributed significantly to both the women’s events on their way to the top of the podium. The only thing to see now is if Lyles and Co. can go on to clinch more gold medals with similar performances in Paris in two months’ time. 

Italy disqualified from the 4x100m relay at the 2024 World Athletics Relays, Olympic gold medalist Marcell Jacobs' hopes in Paris in doubt.

<em>Speed. Technique. Thrill.</em> Track and Field is a sport that incorporates all this and more. Races so electrifying that they bring the house down, speeds so blazing that you might miss them in the blink of an eye, and rivalries so intense that there is a constant tussle for dominance. Well, the recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics provided a hearty dose of track action. And now, the ongoing Diamond League circuit is ensuring that track fans continue to be on the edge of their seats. But, do you know what the initial days of this fascinating sport looked like?
<h2>Track and Field: History and evolution of the sport</h2>
On the marks, set, go. If only the evolution of track and field were so easy. Instead, it was something that gradually happened over years of evolution.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2388715" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Track-and-Field-4.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<strong>Ancient-</strong> One of the oldest sports to have existed, the cornerstone of track and field was laid by the Greeks, where men would exhibit their athletic talents as part of celebratory events. Initially limited to foot races, stadion and diaulos were the competitions that comprised the crux of the sport, which has been around since the first Olympics in Ancient Greece, dating back to 776 B.C. Although the Romans continued the games till 394 A.D., when it was banned, the sport saw a resurgence after the decline of the Roman empire. Tracing back to the 16th and 17th centuries, foot races had become a regular sight in Europe.

<strong>Modern</strong>- The 1860s predominantly saw the wave of transformation, wherein the first championships featuring amateur men were held in England. Athletic clubs and organizations sprung up across Europe and the United States, with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) coming into being in 1887.

<strong>Olympic age</strong>- 1896, was when the first Modern Olympic Games were flagged off in Athens, which included track and field in the sports that debuted.

<strong>20th century</strong>- With athletes flocking from across the world to exhibit their athletic talent, track and field's stature elevated substantially. Technical developments fostered improvements in training and diet, and the track saw the likes of legends like Jesse Owens, Usain Bolt, Flo-Jo, etc coming out at the top.
<h2>What are the major events in track and field?</h2>
Track and field is a sport that covers a plethora of events under its banner. Speaking of the Olympics in particular, it features 48 events, 24 men's events and 24 women's. Care to know what they are?

<h2>What are the rules and regulations of track and field in major competitions like the Olympics?</h2>
<strong>Sprinting Rules</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>Most of the sprinting events from 100m to 5000m conduct qualifying rounds before the finals. Usually heats, semifinals, and then the finals. The top three on the finals scoreboard take home gold, silver, and bronze.</li>
 	<li>Sprints, hurdles, and relay races feature starting blocks, followed by the firing of a pistol to commence the race. If a runner starts before the fire, it's called a 'false start.' This will lead to disqualification.</li>
 	<li>100m sprints and 110m/100m hurdles comprise starts where racers are all in one line. Whereas, in the 200m, 400m, 400m hurdles, 4x100m relay, and 400m relay categories, they are placed in staggered positions.</li>
 	<li>Running outside the allocated lanes would also lead to disqualification. If an athlete is forced to cross the lane by another one so that there is no material advantage, they will not be disqualified. The same for a person who strays out or crosses the line, and in doing so, they do not get an advantage, there will be no disqualification.</li>
 	<li>The athlete whose torso crosses the vertical finish line plane will be declared the winner.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Relay Rules</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>For any of the relays, baton handover must not happen beyond the 20m changeover box. If yes, then this would amount to disqualification.</li>
 	<li>The baton should not fall or touch the ground in any way.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Middle Distance Rules</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>There are no starting blocks in these races. Also, athletes line up in an upright position. In 800m, the 8 runners will stand in staggered positions before the start. Through the first turn, they have to stay in their respective lanes, but can then break to the inside. If done very early, then can lead to disqualification.</li>
 	<li>1500m and the steeplechase have group starts, and no fixed lanes are allocated.</li>
 	<li>In steeplechase, if an athlete steps aside during a barrier, they will be disqualified. They can jump above them in any way, but no part of the foot or leg should be below the horizontal plane of the upper bar while they are attempting to clear it.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Long Distance Rules</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>The 10,000m, marathon, race walk, decathlon, and heptathlon are events that directly conduct finals with no qualifying rounds.</li>
 	<li>The starts happen in an upright position and involve no touching of the ground.</li>
 	<li>Usually, these feature mass starts. However given the possibility that there are more than 12 runners in the race, they are divided into staggered groups. The first one will have 65 percent of the athletes that usually appear on a start line.</li>
 	<li>There are no lane assignments. Track athletes can break for positions right after the commencement.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Race Walking Rules</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>The walker must be in contact with the ground continuously. Even the advancing leg should be straight from the instance when it comes in contact with the ground till it goes into the upright position.</li>
 	<li>There are anything between six and nine judges in the event. And they are free to issue warnings upon violations like leg contact or perhaps a bent knee.</li>
 	<li>If participating athletes get warnings from 3 different judges, they get disqualified. Also, if an official medical officer asks them to retire from the race, the competitors must leave.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Jumping Rules</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>High jump- The jump-off must happen from one foot. And given that the athlete makes contact with the crossbar and falls off the supports, it will be counted as a failed attempt. Also, athletes will be given 3 attempts for a particular height. The option to pass a certain height and try for the next is also available. But, if there are 2 failed attempts at a single height, and the athlete skips that to move on to the next, the next should be cleared on the first try.</li>
 	<li>Pole Vault- Participants can use a substance either on their hands or the pole to facilitate a better grip. But, tape on fingers or hands is prohibited, unless there is an open wound. Athletes are also allowed to use their poles, of any material, length, or diameter. If they break, the participants still get another go at it. However, there are three criteria for disqualification. First is when the vaulter makes the crossbar fall by touch. Second is when they move their lower hand above their upper one or their upper hand higher on the pole after leaving the ground. And third, if they steady or replace the bar while conducting the vault.</li>
 	<li>Long Jump- The measurement for the jumps is calculated from the takeoff line to the closest break in the landing area, done by any part of the participant's body. Failed attempts happen on exceeding the takeoff line while jumping, or on taking off from outside either end of the take-off board. Or perhaps touching the ground outside the landing area closer to the take-off line, in comparison to the nearest break in the sand.</li>
 	<li>Triple Jump- There are three stages of a triple jump- a hop, a step, and a jump, all done in the said sequence. Hope and jump have to be made from the same foot used for take-off, while the step involves the other. Failed attempts have identical criteria to the long jump. However, there is one exception, and that is when an athlete makes contact with the ground with their sleeping leg during a jump, it isn't considered a failure.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Decathlon and Heptathlon Rules-</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>The decathlon and heptathlon events are conducted over two consecutive days.</li>
 	<li>In both these events, 3 attempts in the long jump, shot put, discus, and javelin throw are allowed. And a single false start in track events is allowed.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Throwing Rules-</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>Shot, discuss, and hammer throw are all done from within the demarcated throwing circles. While the javelin throw features a runway. Crossing either while a throwing attempt is made will count as a failed attempt.</li>
 	<li>Also, the athletes must not exit and stay in the throwing area until the javelin or the respective implement touches the ground. And for it to be considered a valid throw, they should land within the landing zone.</li>
 	<li>Gloves are only permitted in hammer throw, while any sort of tape is not allowed unless there is an open wound on the hands or the fingers.</li>
</ul>

Track and Field: History and evolution of the sport On the marks, set, go. If only the evolution of track and field were so easy. Instead, it was something that gradually happened over years of evolution. Ancient- One of the oldest sports to have existed, the cornerstone of track and field was laid by the Greeks, where men would exhibit their athletic talents as part of celebratory events. Initially limited to foot races, stadion and diaulos were the competitions that comprised the crux of the sport, which has been around since the first Olympics in Ancient Greece, dating back to 776 B.C. Although the Romans continued the games till 394 A.D., when it was banned, the sport saw a resurgence after the decline of the Roman empire. Tracing back to the 16th and 17th centuries, foot races had become a regular sight in Europe. Modern&#8211; The 1860s predominantly saw the wave of transformation, wherein the first championships featuring amateur men were held in England. Athletic clubs and organizations sprung up across Europe and the United States, with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) coming into being in 1887. Olympic age&#8211; 1896, was when the first Modern Olympic Games were flagged off in Athens, which included track and field in the sports that debuted. 20th century&#8211; With athletes flocking from across the world to exhibit their athletic talent, track and field&#8217;s stature elevated substantially. Technical developments fostered improvements in training and diet, and the track saw the likes of legends like Jesse Owens, Usain Bolt, Flo-Jo, etc coming out at the top. What are the major events in track and field? Track and field is a sport that covers a plethora of events under its banner. Speaking of the Olympics in particular, it features 48 events, 24 men&#8217;s events and 24 women&#8217;s. Care to know what they are?  Track Discipline Events  Sprint 100m, 200m, 400m  Middle-distance/Long-distance 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10000m, 3000m steeplechase  Hurdles 100m hurdles, 110m hurdles, 400m hurdles  Road Running Half marathon, marathon  Race Walks 20k race walk, 35k race walk  Relays 4&#215;100 relay, 4&#215;400 relay, 4&#215;400 relay mixed  Field Discipline Events  Jumps High jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump  Throws Shot put, discus throw, hammer throw, javelin throw  Combined Events Heptathlon, Decathlon  Cross Country  Mountain Running  Ultra Running  Trail Running   What are the rules and regulations of track and field in major competitions like the Olympics? Sprinting Rules Most of the sprinting events from 100m to 5000m conduct qualifying rounds before the finals. Usually heats, semifinals, and then the finals. The top three on the finals scoreboard take home gold, silver, and bronze. Sprints, hurdles, and relay races feature starting blocks, followed by the firing of a pistol to commence the race. If a runner starts before the fire, it&#8217;s called a &#8216;false start.&#8217; This will lead to disqualification. 100m sprints and 110m/100m hurdles comprise starts where racers are all in one line. Whereas, in the 200m, 400m, 400m hurdles, 4x100m relay, and 400m relay categories, they are placed in staggered positions. Running outside the allocated lanes would also lead to disqualification. If an athlete is forced to cross the lane by another one so that there is no material advantage, they will not be disqualified. The same for a person who strays out or crosses the line, and in doing so, they do not get an advantage, there will be no disqualification. The athlete whose torso crosses the vertical finish line plane will be declared the winner. Relay Rules For any of the relays, baton handover must not happen beyond the 20m changeover box. If yes, then this would amount to disqualification. The baton should not fall or touch the ground in any way. Middle Distance Rules There are no starting blocks in these races. Also, athletes line up in an upright position. In 800m, the 8 runners will stand in staggered positions before the start. Through the first turn, they have to stay in their respective lanes, but can then break to the inside. If done very early, then can lead to disqualification. 1500m and the steeplechase have group starts, and no fixed lanes are allocated. In steeplechase, if an athlete steps aside during a barrier, they will be disqualified. They can jump above them in any way, but no part of the foot or leg should be below the horizontal plane of the upper bar while they are attempting to clear it. Long Distance Rules The 10,000m, marathon, race walk, decathlon, and heptathlon are events that directly conduct finals with no qualifying rounds. The starts happen in an upright position and involve no touching of the ground. Usually, these feature mass starts. However given the possibility that there are more than 12 runners in the race, they are divided into staggered groups. The first one will have 65 percent of the athletes that usually appear on a start line. There are no lane assignments. Track athletes can break for positions right after the commencement. Race Walking Rules The walker must be in contact with the ground continuously. Even the advancing leg should be straight from the instance when it comes in contact with the ground till it goes into the upright position. There are anything between six and nine judges in the event. And they are free to issue warnings upon violations like leg contact or perhaps a bent knee. If participating athletes get warnings from 3 different judges, they get disqualified. Also, if an official medical officer asks them to retire from the race, the competitors must leave. Jumping Rules High jump- The jump-off must happen from one foot. And given that the athlete makes contact with the crossbar and falls off the supports, it will be counted as a failed attempt. Also, athletes will be given 3 attempts for a particular height. The option to pass a certain height and try for the next is also available. But, if there are 2 failed attempts at a single height, and the athlete skips that to move on to the next, the next should be cleared on the first try. Pole Vault- Participants can use a substance either on their hands or the pole to facilitate a better grip. But, tape on fingers or hands is prohibited, unless there is an open wound. Athletes are also allowed to use their poles, of any material, length, or diameter. If they break, the participants still get another go at it. However, there are three criteria for disqualification. First is when the vaulter makes the crossbar fall by touch. Second is when they move their lower hand above their upper one or their upper hand higher on the pole after leaving the ground. And third, if they steady or replace the bar while conducting the vault. Long Jump- The measurement for the jumps is calculated from the takeoff line to the closest break in the landing area, done by any part of the participant&#8217;s body. Failed attempts happen on exceeding the takeoff line while jumping, or on taking off from outside either end of the take-off board. Or perhaps touching the ground outside the landing area closer to the take-off line, in comparison to the nearest break in the sand. Triple Jump- There are three stages of a triple jump- a hop, a step, and a jump, all done in the said sequence. Hope and jump have to be made from the same foot used for take-off, while the step involves the other. Failed attempts have identical criteria to the long jump. However, there is one exception, and that is when an athlete makes contact with the ground with their sleeping leg during a jump, it isn&#8217;t considered a failure. Decathlon and Heptathlon Rules- The decathlon and heptathlon events are conducted over two consecutive days. In both these events, 3 attempts in the long jump, shot put, discus, and javelin throw are allowed. And a single false start in track events is allowed. Throwing Rules- Shot, discuss, and hammer throw are all done from within the demarcated throwing circles. While the javelin throw features a runway. Crossing either while a throwing attempt is made will count as a failed attempt. Also, the athletes must not exit and stay in the throwing area until the javelin or the respective implement touches the ground. And for it to be considered a valid throw, they should land within the landing zone. Gloves are only permitted in hammer throw, while any sort of tape is not allowed unless there is an open wound on the hands or the fingers.

As of 2023, Noah Lyles’ estimated net worth is estimated to be $7 million. His primary earning sources are mainly the cash prizes that he won during the various track and field events, and he also earns through brand promotions. Another major source of his recent income is his multi-year endorsement deal with Nike. He has also added renowned brands like Gatorade and Beats by Dre to his endorsement bag. His net worth kicked off at the age of 19 when he had a huge collaboration with sporting apparel giant Adidas.

Meanwhile, Lyles also has invested in real estate properties and made a good amount of money with his endorsement deals through his social media accounts. With his growing presence in the digital world, brands recognize Lyles' value.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Which country does Noah Lyles hail from: Know more about his early life and family</strong></h2>
Born on July 18, 1997, in Gainesville, Florida, Noah Lyles began his athletic journey as a gymnast during his early years. Then he transitioned to track and field at the age of 12 and kept excelling in the sport. Both his parents, Keisha Caine and Kevin Lyles, were track and field athletes and competed for Seton Hall University.

Lyles' father was a member of the team that emerged victorious in the 4x400-meter relay event at the 1995 world championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. Noah Lyles pursued his education at the T. C. Williams High School currently known as Alexandria City High School while simultaneously honing his track and field skills.

Lyles has a younger brother named Josephus Lyles, who is also a renowned track and field runner. Josephus went to T. C. Williams High School, and in 2016, he signed a deal with Adidas along with his elder brother and embarked on his professional journey.

He also secured a bronze and a silver in 200 meters and 400 meters, respectively, at the 2015 World Youth Championships. In addition to this, he also clinched a bronze medal in the 200-meter event at the 2022 NACAC Championships.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lyles in Olympics: A look at his glorious track and field career</strong></h2>
Noah Lyles rose to prominence when he stood atop the podium at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in the 200-meter event. During his Olympic trials in 2016, Lyles failed to qualify in the 100-meter event, but he managed to make it to the 200-meter event after winning the semi-finals, and he created history after placing fourth with a sensational finish of 20.09 seconds and breaking the 31-year-old record in the national high school category.

He secured gold and silver in 100 meters and 200 meters, respectively, at the Pan American U20 Championships. And in 2017, Lyles broke the indoor 300-meter world record after posting a finish of 31.87 seconds at the US Indoor Championships.

In 2018, he achieved two gold medals in the 100 meters and 4x100 meters, respectively, at the Continental Cup. Moreover, he stands out as one of the most accomplished athletes in the history of the Diamond League, having clinched the league finals five times.

His first victory came in 2017 with a gold in the 200 meters, followed by another gold in the same event the following year. In 2019, he accomplished a remarkable double triumph in both the 100 meters and 200 meters, marking a significant milestone in his career. Additionally, he secured victory in the 200-meter Diamond League finals in 2022, making him one of the most successful Diamond League runners.

His journey to the World Championships is nothing short of a dream. Lyles became the world champion for the first time in 2019 in Doha. He won the 200-meter heat after clocking a stupendous time of 19.83 seconds, leaving behind the likes of Andre De Grasse and Lex Quinez.

Later in the same event, he also helped Team USA win the 4x100-meter relay event.

In 2021, Lyles also managed to claim an Olympic medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after his 19.74-second finish in the 200 meters.

In August 2023, during the Budapest World Athletics Championships, he <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-track-and-field-news-olympics-news-nba-news-american-hero-noah-lyles-receives-huge-honor-in-nyc-amidst-clash-with-nba-world/" target="_self" rel="noopener">achieved a remarkable feat</a> by winning both the 100-meter and 200-meter titles with times of 9.83 seconds and 19.52 seconds, respectively.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Usain Bolt as a competitor: Noah Lyles's rivalry with the Olympic great </strong></h2>
On July 23rd, Noah Lyles broke Usain Bolt's record for most 200-meter wins under 20 seconds at the London Diamond League. He made history as the first sprinter in the world to complete 200-meter heats in under 20 seconds, achieving this remarkable feat a record 35 times. He achieved this remarkable feat when he finished his 200-meter heat in 19.47 seconds in London.

In addition to this, Noah has made a bold promise to surpass Usain Bolt's 200-meter record of 19.19 seconds. He has made several close attempts, but the record is yet to be broken.

He is one of those runners who idolizes Bolt and once had an encounter with him as well. <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-after-fifteen-years-of-triumph-noah-lyles-steals-usain-bolts-long-standing-record-of-hundred-m-and-two-hundred-m-glory-at-world-athletics-championship/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Lyles and Bolt met during the Racers Grand Prix 2023</a>, when Lyles won his race, Bolt was present in the dugout. Bolt and Lyles exchanged a high-five and a warm hug. During their conversation, Bolt expressed his admiration for Lyles and encouraged him to maintain his positive attitude, emphasizing its importance in the sport.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Beyond the right: Controversies that became part of his life</strong></h2>
Apart from his decorated track and field career, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-nba-basketball-news-following-his-temporary-silence-noah-lyles-ends-nba-slant-with-a-bold-take-the-world-is-very-much-on-my-side/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Lyles also garnered scrutiny after his comments about NBA</a> champions. In a post-event interview, Lyles shared his opinion about NBA champions calling themselves world champions. To this, Lyles replied, <em>"World champions of what?" </em>He stated that the league takes place only in the United States, and they should not call themselves the world champions. He also added that he loves the United States but it's not the entire world.

He was heavily criticized for his statements by NBA stars like Juan Toscano-Anderson, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant, who said that Lyles has lost his mind and needs help. Some other NBA players, like Aaron Gordon, even issued an open challenge to Lyles for a 200-meter heat. Apart from the NBA players, he was also trolled by the fans. These NBA legends were also joined by the famous Canadian rapper and singer Drake, who said, "<em>He thought this speech was gonna be so hard in the mirror the night before? now the whole league doesn't rate u</em>."

However, it was not a one-sided battle for Lyles, as he garnered support from his track and field counterparts, Fred Kerley and Rai Benjamin. While Benjamin tweeted in support of Lyles and wrote <em>"NBA triggered dawg," </em>and Kerley also tweeted a cryptic message on his Twitter, Sha'Carri Richardson and Emmanuel Acho have also tweeted in support of Lyles.
