Noah Lyles slammed by track and field community for his ego only to be brutally shut down after
Despite being a superb sprinter, many believe Lyles crosses the line first in all the wrong ways.
Noah Lyles drew widespread criticism from the track and field community for appearing to snub Jamaican athletes and sprinters, only to be severely knocked down in data comparing him to Usain Bolt’s achievements.
Noah Lyles drew widespread criticism from the track and field community for appearing to snub Jamaican athletes and sprinters, only to be severely knocked down in data comparing him to Usain Bolt’s achievements.
As a young runner, he is confident in his talents and might lead the United States to gold medal glory in Europe in a few weeks, returning them to the top step of the podium for the first time since the 2004 Games in Athens, as he sets big ambitions for himself.
“Grabbing a world record is one of two things that I still have left to do,” Lyles has also stated that he will be the one to break Usain Bolt’s 100m and 200m world records. “One being grabbing an Olympic gold, and then, two, grabbing a world record.”
And, after being viewed as arrogant in Netflix’s documentary, Sprint, and hurting the Jamaican track and field community by appearing to reject his credible competition, they are not affording him any break from the clamor.
Fans quickly pointed out that Bolt still has a significant advantage in events up to 400 metres. He is 0.25 seconds faster in the 100m, 0.011 seconds faster in the 200m, 0.9 seconds faster in the 300m, and 1.39 seconds faster in the 400m.
Fans responded to the news.
Thank you for watching!
Track and field aficionados were quick to point out that Lyles isn’t the fastest sprinter in the world, and certainly not the fastest of all time, as they questioned Clarkson’s claims.
