Lyles’ recent achievements include an Olympic bronze from Tokyo 2020, six world titles, and four silvers in Glasgow. It was at last year’s World Championships in Budapest where he clinched first place in both the 100 and 200 meters. “I’ve always known I’m the fastest man in the world. In my mind, I believe I’m going to break the records. I’m planning to break them,” Noahyles commented after his victory in Hungary, referencing Usain Bolt’s records.
From there, the athlete will seek to set his marks in the British capital this Saturday and establish himself as the rightful successor to the Jamaican, who has retired from professional athletics. Lyles will face high-level competitors, including British sprinter Zharnel Hughes, who won bronze in the 200 meters in Budapest. Also in contention will be the world silver medallist Letsile Tebogo and South African Akani Simbine, both known for their ability to surprise on the track.
