Noah Lyles is on a mission to claim all the medals this year and shatter world records in 2024. The 26-year-old has boldly declared his intentions not only to secure a sprint quadruple but also to surpass Usain Bolt’s 100-meter world record. His impressive performance in the 60-meter event at the indoor championships serves as a mere preview of his greatness.

And it is yet to unfold for Noah Lyles in the upcoming outdoor season. As he relentlessly pursues track and field history, he enjoys unwavering support from his coach.

How Coach Lance Brauman has faith in the contention of Noah Lyles

During a captivating episode of the USTAF Journey to Gold Zone Podcast, Noah Lyles engaged in a candid discussion with Olympic gold medalist Erik Kynard and two-time Olympian Wallace Spearmon, shedding light on his past achievements and future aspirations. One particular moment stood out when the host reminisced about Lyles’ bold claim of potentially running a sub-19 in the 200m, to which Lyles humorously recalled his affirmation.

However, the conversation took an intriguing turn when the host revealed Coach Lance Brauman’s staunch belief in Lyles’ capabilities, stating that Brauman had openly declared his confidence in Lyles achieving the extraordinary feat. Lyles, with a chuckle, remarked, “Yeah, I’ve been waiting for him to say that one.” It became evident that Brauman’s endorsement held significant weight, especially considering his previous skepticism that no human could break the 19-second barrier in the 200m.

This exchange underscored the profound faith that Lyles’ coach has in his ability to rewrite the annals of sprinting history. As this moment came to light, let us see what coach Lance Brauman feels about Noah Lyles’s desire to run in the 4×400 relay at the Paris Olympics.
