Noah Lyles is a sprinter that exists in two worlds at once: an intensively competitive, sharp world of elite athletics and a joyful spontaneous life of someone who refuses to be defined exclusively by his results. Although the pressure to maintain its status is the fastest man in the world, Lyles moves at every moment with a rare sense of ease. Since Usain Bolt retired, he has become the biggest boy in sport, not only for his speed, but for his style, personality and lush energy that he brings to every race.
The duality was on the full display In Tokyo for the World Athletics ChampionshipThe biggest clearing of the world’s best stars and field stars this year. Four years ago, Lyles fought at the Tokyo Olympics. He fought depression in preparation for games, built on the background of the Covid-19 pandemic, and couldn’t live up to the popular brand in 200 mA.
Lyles, determined to rewrite the narrative, returned to Tokyo as the ruling Olympic champion and released a championship class in redemption. He claimed 200m gold, became only a second man from Usain Bolt, who won four consecutive 200m world titles, followed by a blistering anchor leg in a 4x100m relay, which led the US to gold.
Yet even in the middle of the triumph, Lyles’s attention was at the moment – philosophy captured in his favorite mantra: being a human being, not human. After the races he celebrated a party in Tokyo, enjoyed the company of his fellow citizens and enjoyed the victory according to his own conditions.
“There is no trick. There are many things because they will take care of each other,” Lyles said in an exclusive interview facilitated by his sponsor Adidas.
“I could say,” You must be relaxed “It’s not a person.”
Be trendy
Lyles’s personality goes far behind the stop. Known for his charming taste and expresses himself through style on the track. Whether it’s a new hairstyle for the big finals or the way it interacts with the crowd before shooting a weapon, Lyles is undoubtedly SuperStar material.
“A lot of ways (show off my personality). I put jewelry on the spikes, put my hair in my hair and painted my nails. I wear a lot of necklaces and jewelry. And if I can, I wear fun clothes on the track,” he said.
Fashion, for Lyles, is another form of expression, a visible statement of its individuality and trust.
Be authentic
Even the Global Center will not cause it. He accepts responsibility for the inspiration of young fans and at the same time remains refreshing honest about his imperfections.
“It’s quite fun. Sometimes it can also be stressful to know that I’m not perfect and making mistakes, and sometimes people just see you as a superhero and don’t make mistakes in their minds. Unfortunately, it’s not a situation. I’m not a superhero.
“I just have a gift with which I was blessed, and I have achieved different goals in my life and I am honored to see the way I passed. I think it is my job to show not only good times but hard times as well.
It is no surprise that Lyles openly discussed his battle with depression, which led to Tokyo Olympic acts in 2021. He shared his experience to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, especially among athletes.
Sponsors and fans responded to its authenticity. Adidas, who recognized his personality and passion, including anime, created campaigns that emphasized him in Japan.
“When Adidas Tokyo came to me and they are like,” We want to dial anime, “it was clear that he not only believes in me, but also understands me. He just forces me to work better,” Lyles said.
“When these fans come out and see these posters (Noah) and see interactions and know who I am before I get there, we already have a connection that does not only the world championship, but the moment we created, which is all the more unforgettable and joyful,” he added.
Be blessed
The clarity in his thinking and his ability to live at the moment comes from a solid system of support. Lyles attributes prayer, faith and constant support for his fiance Junelle Bromfield and his team for maintaining him.
“The best way to describe it is to help take off the burden I don’t have to take. We are dealing with some things at home that some people like,” We need you for that. To be not only my representatives, but also my best leg forward, it helps me to take stress and be able to concentrate only on what I do, which is gaining championship, ”he said.
Missing 100m gold in Tokyo As the ruling Olympic champion could have stopped, but for Lyles it just cheats his fire. With the monuments of the potential double at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in front of the domestic crowd, he is ready for another defining chapter.
Meanwhile, after the conquest of Tokyo, Lyles focuses on tasting time with family and friends, celebrating life outside the track and recharging before immersed in grind for the next season.
