Hearing this interview is a joy. Now I see has a fun person and not a boaster

[@DGF2]

He pays homage to the greats of the past... he's trying to elevate the sport for "us" not "me/him"... he shares his struggles and he shares nuggets to his current success. The man is to be respected for his period of time in the track and field journey.

[@winsomeclarke7215]

I really look at him differently he’s a humble guy

[@eaglementality4380]

I used to think Noah is so arrogant before I heard his story ….. if you’re asthmatic and then this is your chosen career and is kicking butts …. Im sorry, you’ve earned the right to be arrogant After looking at him through different lenses - I don’t think he’s arrogant anymore- he’s just confident …. Can’t hate on him for that

[@Lscott-fk2sn]

what made you think that earlier? i haven't been keeping track for that long so i never picked up on that.

[@haroldburwell3744]

Great interview very insiteful !!!

[@peterndubuisi1441]

No athlete at the moment has the mentality of Bolt. Bolt's record may subsist for generations unborn. The best at the moment is breaking personal records for these prime sprinters.

[@stacey-anntaylor7750]

I love Noah, this most exciting personality since our Bolt.

[@jomohector5274]

If oblique Seville have learnt his lesson there’s no way Noah can beat him at 100m.

[@Yes_I_c4n]

And what exactly is the lesson?

[@aliciamorris8388]

True

[@nadiawalters9717]

And your statement was so accurate ❤

[@oneknock5796]

You nailed it

[@derrickmccaulsky6848]

Noah lyles says he is going after the world record. Nothing is impossible if you have the mind the feeling and if anyone trains for something that they want surely it is not impossible

Welcome to Jamaica Noah.I think you should start running for Jamaica just make it one ❤❤😂

[@Chris-wj8fz]

So Bolt and Flo Jo seem to have set insurmountable levels but as Michael Johnson Tyson Gale and Alison Felix etc found out they will fall..build it and they will come ❤

[@wynnetg862]

Don’t forget Sydney McLaughlin- Levrone; don’t think her records are going down any time soon; plus she consistently runs like she is trying to break her records

[@nicolemaddix4291]

Test her😎🏁

Agreed there are bob beamon type glorious leaps Jonathan Edwards TJ but Warholm and Bol and the Kenyans everywhere 😆

[@vevenamcleish6533]

You could never be Jamaican and want Noah to take bolt record. The Kenyan running better but you want the 4th place to achieve the record. Sorry but Seville will show you all what is loyalty to a country

[@rackymoni1337]

You have regained the U.S.A dominancy. But Thank God you just missed THE BOLT ERA!!!

I like Noah Lyles he’s a very, very nice guy. I want him to win. I wish him all the best in the Olympic. It would be nice if you win the 100 and 200 m final at the Olympic what is gonna be hard they are some good competitor we shall see but I like him. He’s a nice guy.

I love this dude if I want anyone to break this record I think he is the perfect person

[@Rushy1932]

😮😮😮

[@kirkstewart-berry5675]

To me, it is not out of the question that Noah Lyles might switch allegiance to Jamaica, because the US doesn't treat him very well.

[@clojo3665]

Wow this is different I guess the walls are broken down and we are all one. Or Jamaica has now earned its respect officially.

[@Chris-wj8fz]

Track an 9:45 is 95% mental 5% leg speed

[@mocabeentrill]

Smug but can back it up. Very articulate! Love it

[@Itz_mayz]

my father is staying at the same hotel that noah and his team and i asked my father to try and get an autograph for me because i'm a bit fan of noahs, and my father approached him when no one was bothering or talking to noah, and he dismisses my father and says he's not doing photos today. I do wish i got the autograph but didn't mind but the fact that he had to be rude to my father is making me a bit disappointed. Never meet your heros kids.

[@vevenamcleish6533]

Sorry that happened..bolt in his time would never dismissed anyone

[@realAndresilver]

Facts

[@Yes_I_c4n]

Okay, but being realistic, the record is just out of reach.

[@realAndresilver]

@@Yes_I_c4n his 100m record is Not his 200m WR or his 150M WR

[@Yes_I_c4n]

@@realAndresilver His 150m 14.35s WR is not really THE record. I mean it is a Wrecord, but nobody peaks for such an event, so times don't mean much. For instance, Berlin shape Usain split 14.44s (coming off a curve!!). 14.35s on a straight is still fast, but that version of UB was dropping 19.7s and 9.8/9.9s at the time he ran the 14.35s mark. All it takes is someone peaking for the 150m and the record will fall. The 200m though, I don't quite understand your reasoning. How can you say his 200m is beatable, when just last season Lyles' fastest time was "only" 19.47s? His 19.31s might have been an outlier for all we know. And even 19.31s was a perfect performance by Lyles, it won't be easy to top that, let alone to break the WR.

[@yawos9024]

@@Yes_I_c4n I doubt if if he could beat Tebogo in the 150 meters on a straight. Tebogo is not very good on the curve, but the kid can accelerate on the straight. Now, he has the fastest 300 meters ever, Noah better watch out.

[@joshuagrant3592]
