Noah Lyles is a heavy favorite in the 200 meters, his better race, and a race he has not lost since the Olympic final in Tokyo three years ago, where he…
Noah Lyles is running in the 200m semifinal on Wednesday and hopefully the final on Thursday in his chase for the 100m-200m double
Lyles' willingness — make that, desire — to be the front man for a sport that yearns for new fans feels like a game-changer to Seb Coe, the World Athletics president who called Sunday's race"if not perfect, about as close to perfect as you can get.""If I'm wearing a promoter's hat, then him winning last night was important, because he's now creating a narrative that's heading us back into Usain Bolt territory," Coe said.
He has been a front man for the popular Netflix documentary"SPRINT," and has brought a sense of fashion back to the track, making"walk-ins" a thing and bedazzling his hair with white pearls on race day."I want my own shoe," he said."I want my own trainer. I'm dead serious. I want a sneaker. There ain't no money in spikes, there's money in sneakers.
Botswana's Letsile Tobogo, American Erryion Knighton and defending champion Andre De Grasse are also in the mix. One interesting wager would be whether Lyles has more of a chance of losing the race or lowering his American record of 19.31. Bolt's world record is 19.19.Lyles is racing in the sixth heat in the first round, which starts at 1:55 p.m. ET/10:55 a.m. PT. Assuming Lyles moves on, he'll race in the semifinals on Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 2:02 p.m. ET/11:02 a.m. PT.
