Noah Lyles: World's fastest man acknowledges Usain Bolt as the epitome of consistency
World champion Noah Lyles talked on consistency and legacies, sighting Usain Bolt as an example and inspiration.
He posted on his X page (formerly Twitter) his thoughts on having more and examples of such awards that can be awarded.
"I feel like there should be more awards given than just athlete of the year. What about
- Performance of the year
- Athlete of the year for jumps, throws, distance and sprints
- most improved athlete"
The American speedster has brought more recognition to the sport on and off track this year, after winning the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m world titles at the World Championships in Budapest, thereby making him one of the most valuable athletes at the championship.
