Noah Lyles


The name Noah Lyles and the phrase world champion found themselves in a lot of debates this summer. One thing is clear: Noah Lyles is the fastest man in the world. He proved that at the 2023 Track & Field World Championships. Lyles was able to shock doubters, winning a gold medal in the 100-meter final. He was also able to win his third-straight gold medal in the 200-meter race, and ran the anchor leg for USA’s gold medal 4x100 team, accomplishing things in track that hadn’t been done by a male since Usain Bolt. Lyles did it all by being himself and speaking his mind, as he helps grow Track & Field.
