Noah Lyles addressed the controversy that stemmed from his pronouncement but ultimately stood firm in his belief that the 'fastest man' title does rest with him.
Noah Lyles discusses his mental health around Tokyo 2020 and how he felt racing in-front of an empty stadium. PARIS -- With multiple world championships, Noah Lyles' speed and résumé are without question.
Lyles may be searching for his first Olympic gold medal, but he is the reigning world champion in both the 100 and 200 meters, winning both events at last year's world championships in Budapest, Hungary. It was his first time taking the top spot in the 100, an event that until then had been viewed as his weaker of the two sprint races.
Thompson has this year's world lead with the 9.77 he ran at the Jamaica trials last month. Seville has run a 9.82 this year, and Kenya's Ferdinand Omanyala ran a 9.79 in June. With so much swirling around Lyles' initial comment, he posted a statement to his YouTube account Sunday.
