Track and field has been searching for a new star since Usain Bolt retired, and it seems like they might have found one in Noah Lyles. The American sprinter is aiming to win four gold medals in the upcoming competitions – the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay, with a potential spot in the 4x400m relay as well. His dominance in the sport has drawn comparisons to Bolt’s threepeat from 2008 to 2016.
Carl Lewis, a legendary American track and field athlete with nine Olympic gold medals, believes that Lyles could be the new face of the sport. He emphasized the importance of having a superstar like Lyles to elevate the sport and create more excitement for fans. Lewis is currently in Paris with Lyles as they collaborate with Tide, a partnership that allows Lewis to connect with fans on a personal level.
While Lewis refrained from making any public predictions about Lyles’ performance at the Olympics, he expressed his admiration for the young athlete and his excitement to be working with him. Lyles is set to compete in multiple events, including the 100m final, the 200m (where he aims to set a world record), and the relay races. The anticipation for Lyles’ performance is high, with fans eager to see if he can live up to the expectations set for him.
As the track and field world waits to see if Noah Lyles can dominate at the Olympics and become the new face of the sport, the excitement and buzz surrounding his performances continue to grow. With Carl Lewis by his side, Lyles has the support and mentorship of a track legend as he looks to make his mark on the sport.
