Bermuda is buzzing at the moment as the next stop for the Paris Olympics is underway. Competing for ultimate glory, track and field athletes will be fighting it out at the USATF Bermuda Grand Prix 2024. A number of big names, including the likes of Noah Lyles will be featuring in the event, which will start shortly from now. Thus, it is imperative for the fans to know when and how to catch all the live actions with their favorite athletes eyeing victory.
The Bermuda Grand Prix 2024 will be available for live broadcast on NBC beginning from 4 pm ET onwards. Fans who prefer to watch it online can stream it on Peacock or Fubo. With the option of a free trial available, fans can technically watch all the action live before deciding to commit to a subscription. However, if neither of the options is viable and one does not have location access to view the meet, a VPN would just come in handy. Fans can also surf the World Athletics and the USATF official website for breaking updates on the go.
As per the news, the fans would also be treated to Paul Swangard’s baritone play-by-play narration. Lewis Johnson would be vested with the responsibility of conducting the interviews while the duo of Sanya Richards-Ross and Ato Boldon would nitpick and scrutinize the athletes’ performance. Now, with all the information about viewing the meet sorted, there are some interesting match-ups in the event. Chief among them are Noah Lyles and Josephus Lyles.

Noah Lyles has been a phenomenon since his bronze at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. In the recently held World Championships at Budapest, Lyles had total domination over almost every discipline he set foot in. Competing in the 100m, 200m, and the 4x100m relay, Lyles looked unbeatable as he bagged gold in all of them.
His brother, Josephus Lyles, on the other hand, is not as celebrated as Noah. However, he too, packs a punch. With a 200m personal best of 19.93s, Josephus Lyles is a force to be reckoned with. And he will be itching to set the records straight this time. As in most cases, it is Noah who always emerged victorious. Even in the recently held New Balance Indoor Championship in February, Noah made quick work of the race, as Josephus bit the dust again.

However, as this would be Noah Lyles’ international outdoor debut, the butterflies in the stomach will bother Noah Lyles initially. Apart from the brother vs. brother rivalry, other notable names include Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah and Canadian 100m champion, Aaron Brown. Thus, with so much excitement waiting, all eyes will be on the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium come April 28.

Other notable names include Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah and Canadian 100m champion, Aaron Brown. Competing in the Women’s 200m, Tamari Davis and Abby Steiner will be aiming to make a statement ahead of the Olympics. Davis was sublime when she clinched the gold at the 2023 World Championships in the 4x100m relay. Going into the meet, she might just look to better her 200m personal record, which currently stands at 22.30s.
The US Indoor 200m record holder will definitely want to enthrall the fans by replicating her usual excellence. After recently bagging a huge deal with Puma, Steiner would be all the more motivated to cement her position as one of the best. Other US athletes to look out for are Cassandra Tate, Donald Scott, Jasmine Moore, Matthew Boling, Javianne Oliver, JT Smith, PJ Austin, Micaiah Harris, and more. Thus, with so much excitement waiting, all eyes will be on the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium on April 28
