Noah Lyles: Sprint Superstar Aims for Triple Olympic Gold

Noah Lyles staged a stunning comeback to win the Olympic 100-meter sprint in Paris, breaking the tape by a mere .005 seconds. Lyles, a heavy favorite in the upcoming 200 meters, openly expresses his ambition to be the sport's front man and seeks more recognition from his sponsor. His journey reflects a bid to emulate the legendary Usain Bolt's success.

Noah Lyles took the lead only once during his remarkable Olympic 100-meter sprint: at the finish line.

Lyles, still basking in his .005-second victory, had little time to rest before focusing on his next event, the 200 meters, where he is the favorite. The heats were scheduled for Monday night.

World Athletics president Seb Coe praised Lyles' impact, comparing him to Usain Bolt. Lyles, aiming for more than gold medals, made clear his commercial aspirations at a post-race conference, advocating for his own sneaker line.
