Noah Lyles to bring his full potential

With 2021 becoming a tough year for people with the pandemic and other community problems, Lyles’ career suffered as a result of that. In a year where Simone Biles withdrew from team gymnastics competitions, she became a voice for the voiceless. Hence, Lyles admitted the use of anti-depressants that derailed his career for the year. Winning a bronze medal for the 200-meters competition seems incredible, but he knows he is capable of more. A recent tweet exclaims why Lyles thinks he can do much better for the next year’s track season. Lyles mentioned:

“This will be my best year ever.”

Lyles to come back stronger

The famous athlete won the Diamond League 200-meters competition from 2017 to 2019. With the Olympics being postponed to another year because of the pandemic, Lyles could only manage a bronze medal. Moreover, he had many personal problems that led to a disappointing ending in 2021.

“It was more a situation where I felt that the anti-depressants worked really well, and I knew that a lot of people were now probably struggling with anxiety and depression, and I just wanted to kind of break a stigma that ‘people don?t have to go on medication’ or ‘medication is a bad idea, it?s for people who are crazy,” said Lyles.
