“Impossible to Watch”: Noah Lyles’ Caution to USATF Unanimously Backed by Track World

After notching several accolades in 2023, US sprinting legend Noah Lyles continues with his triumphant streak in 2024. He clinched the silver medal at the World Athletics Indoor Championship 2024. Recently, Lyles made a social media post to accelerate the visibility of track and field, lagging critically behind other sports at the USATF for the 2024 Olympics Trails in Eugene, Oregon. While he is pitching for its commercial presence, no information has been provided yet from the T&F authority.

Thus, the reigning 2023 World Champion, Noah Lyles issued a complaint that USATF had not advertised the Olympic Trials in 2024. Soon after, he raised the concern, and many track enthusiasts came forth to support him and put the same views regarding the issue.

Soon after Lyles’s post surfaced on the internet, one of the fans demonstrated his aggravation. He finds it difficult to have the details of the events by commenting, “Well track is literally impossible to watch and none of the athletes, including you, do a very good job of posting upcoming and/or how-to-watch prior to the day of or hour before.”

Yet another fan also showed his exasperation regarding the USATF’s sluggish behaviour about the upcoming main events. Taking to the comment box, he penned, “Neither have I.. I’m on the mailing list however, and there have been emails regarding ticket sales ..”

In addition to that, another user notified his exasperation of not finding the details of track events online, he commented, “Not only that it’s hard to find track events online that are scheduled to be in the US unless it’s the trials, Olympics or diamond league. Which will all be shown on peacock. All other track events are hard to find information for online.”

While another fan came forth to showcase his displeasure over the same issue, he wrote, “No and it’s ridiculous! That said we just got our tickets today and we can’t wait! There’s no place better to watch world-class athletes than Hayward Field! 💨 🥇”

In addition to this, another user also displayed his displeasure for not being able to find the schedule of USATF’s upcoming events schedule. He commented, “Because nobody in the States watches the Olympic games. The schedule of disciplines is hard to find, the athletes don’t post it has media prevalence for us to gain rapport with, etc.”
