Netflix is dropping ‘SPRINT’ this July and Noah Lyles is already excited about the same! While being a top-level athlete is hard, the fans are seldom aware of the blood and sweat sacrificed by an athlete to attain ultimate glory. In a bid to navigate the behind-the-scenes of the track and field athletes ahead of the Paris Olympics, Netflix has developed a documentary series featuring the top track and field stars from all over the world. And in his recent social media post, the US sprint icon Noah Lyles seems to be overjoyed with how things are going. 

Lyles dropped several pictures on his official Instagram ID to highlight his craze for the series. Lyles, who attended the special screening of the same, was elated by how the producers and directors played around with the cinematography. In one scene, Lyles was seen walking stylishly through the streets with a couple of photographers trying to capture the moment. Behind him on a billboard was a life-sized advertisement of the upcoming Netflix documentary, ‘SPRINT’.

However, that was not all the surprise Lyles had up his sleeve. While promoting the docu-series, Lyles also thanked his stylist for the evening, Kwasi Kessie for dressing him up in a sleek manner. For the uninitiated, Kessie is a celebrity fashion stylist who has several big names in Hollywood as clients under his belt.

The most notable among them are A$AP Ferg, PnB Rock, Diddy, Deem Spencer, and Big K.R.I.T. Surely, Noah Lyles is blooming outside of his sprinting shenanigans as well while upping his style quotient rapidly. Now, coming to the team behind the documentary, Warren Smith, James Gay-Rees, and Paul Martin have a knack for producing superhit documentaries.

The series will cover every minute detail of these athletes along with their journey from the 2023 World Championships to the Paris Olympics in 2024. The series will be available for streaming from July 2. Meanwhile, with Noah Lyles looking gleeful outside of the track, fans are eagerly waiting for him to show glimpses of his promise to topple Usain Bolt in Paris.

Noah Lyles, building up to the Paris Olympics, stated that he is looking to become the fastest man in the world. This was kind of a shock because the 9.58 record of Usain Bolt has still been unbroken for 15 years. However, with a personal best of 9.83s pretty early on in his career, Lyles seemed like a fair candidate to do the unthinkable. Especially when the King, Usain Bolt himself agreed that it might be a possibility. 

Unfortunately, fans have started doubting Lyles’ words as he could not show enough promise this season. After clocking 10.01s and 9.96s in the Tom Jones Memorial and the Bermuda Classics, the frustrations began to grow. It all took a threatening turn when Noah Lyles lost to Jamaica’s Oblique Seville at the Racers Grand Prix recently. Thus, with the days approaching thick and fast, the fans will hope Noah Lyles will surely pull up his socks and gift them an evening to remember in Paris.
