The year 2023 has brought in a hoard full of accolades for Team USA. With top-notch athletes like Sha?Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles, the team has secured a multitude of victories in athletics with record-breaking wins. However, days after the World Athletics Championships, the two icons are now aiming to lift another trophy.

Both Noah Lyles and Sha?Carri Richardson have started to pave their way to attain the pinnacle by performing their magic in the Diamond League. On the same note, Richardson and Lyles emerged as winners in the 100 and 200-meter races in the Zurich Diamond League, respectively. However, despite the win, Noah Lyles went candid about participating in back-to-back events while facing backlash from the NBA enthusiasts due to his controversial statement.

Noah Lyles makes a confession post his 200m win

After claiming three wins at the World Athletics Championship, Noah Lyles achieved yet another win at the 2023 Zurich Diamond League. After the win, the NBC Olympics and Paralympics posted a video of Noah Lyles speaking about hi victory at the event with the caption, “Another win for Noah Lyles, this time coming off a quick turnaround from the World Championship.”

Noah Lyles, who seemed stoked yet tired from the 200-meter run, stated in the interview, “I?m not going to lie. I’m pretty tired. It was a short turnaround. After less than a week of running, I?m going to be satisfied with the win.”

26-year-old Noah Lyles, who was joined by the force of Erriyon Knighton, stormed through the 200-meter tracks in the Zurich Diamond League.

The Olympic gold medalist clocked in at 19.80 to secure his win, while Knighton followed the sprinter for the second position on the podium in 19.87 seconds. The last position was held by Zharnel Hughes, who finished the race in 19.94 seconds. This staunch win comes only days after the athlete brought three gold medals for the USA.
