Noah Lyles Faces Challenge from American Sprinter Grant Holloway with a Playful Twist

The Paris Olympic year started for Noah Lyles with the 60m track and field challenge. The World Indoor Championship is yet to provide a stellar recognition to the sprinter. So after owning the 100 and 200m events, he is eyeing for the uncharted peak of 60m. So, on the eve of the Glasgow Indoor Championship, the 200m world champion is carefully measuring his stride in the preparation. Last week, the Florida Collegiate Invitational witnessed Noah Lyles in a fiery avatar. He took 6.63 to blow his opponents away in the 60m dash event on that day. But just after days, Noah Lyles is up again to save another day for the 60m event. 

Yesterday, the 26-year-old sprinter landed in Brighton, aiming for indoor track and field participation. Meanwhile, hurdler Grant Holloway threw a sprinkle of fun banter directed at him on social media. 

Noah Lyles decides to retort effectively 

On February 4, the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix is set to take place on the official indoor track of New Balance in Boston. Both Noah Lyles and Grant Holloway found their names on the participants’ list. In that manner, the IG handle of New Balance tried to add flair to the occasion by sharing Noah Lyles’ arriving visual in the feed. The caption went ahead in that way only. It conceded, “Strolling into meet week like… You ready for it? The @celsiusofficial Men’s and Women’s 60m is set to be special” But the 3x world champion turned up in the situation with his jibe to Noah. He penned down, “@nojo18 we doing this again ?” The playful track and field legend replied in the same manner as his cohort member. “@flaamingoo_ sure am. Are you going to actually do it this time” was Noah Lyles’ reply. 

Soon Grant Holloway could add only, “@nojo18 I am. Text me the details”. Meanwhile, both had flaunted their dream performance in the Meet previously. Last time, Noah Lyles had claimed the top position in the 60m event of the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. The same fate was on Holloway’s side as well. In the 60m hurdles, he had found no challenge to take the highest podium. However, from their latest unique share, it was evident that both the American sprinters are eyeing for a repeat this time. But there would be potential challenges for them. 

The exuberance of Fred Kerley and Daniel Roberts 

In Brighton, both Noah Lyles and Grant Holloway will meet with their spearheading challenges. In the 60m event, Fred Kerley announced his return, keeping the same aim as Noah. For Grant, arch-rival Daniel Roberts will take his guard again. Though last year, in the final of the Meet, Roberts had to take the runner-up position. But later, in several competitions, he had earned the top position, including in the World Indoor Tour in Madrid.
