As history records say, Noah Lyles is one of the sprint athletes who etched close to the topmost benchmark established by Usain Bolt in the 100m run by clinching a 9.83 seconds record in comparison to Bolt’s 9.58. However, some recent revelations of this year’s anticipated world record athlete called attention to his biggest flaws in return.
Amidst all disclosures, Usain Bolt too, is of a belief that Noah Lyles can be one of the contenders to break the world record this time in the Paris Olympics 2024. While Noah Lyles comprises the same dynamism as Usain Bolt, to win in the Summer Olympics this time, he hopes to etch his name in both 100m and 200m, surpassing the record that was formerly Usain Bolt’s.
