Noah Lyles has reached a new pinnacle of success in terms of his career achievements this year. He is now a triple world champion and has made it to an elite list of athletes who claimed a sprinting triple in a world championship, which also has Jamaican legend Usain Bolt on it. After his world championship victory, he received all the appreciation in the world, and the world acknowledged his talent. There is an unlikely addition to this list of his admirers, and that is the media house NBC. A few days ago, NBC faced criticism from track and field fans and Sha’Carri Richardson when they chose not to televise the US Championships.

This received criticism from many eminent personalities, like the three-time NCAA All-American champion Justin Stuckey, who called out NBC while stating, “Killing the sport. In a recent social media post from the media house, they are now praising Noah Lyles and his recent successes.

NBC appreciates Noah Lyles

A video was posted by NBC on their NBC Olympics & Paralympics Twitter handle with the caption, “Noah Lyles switching from the 200m to 100m is like “trying to eat with your left hand if you’re right-handed.” There was an expert panel featuring the Trinidadian former Olympic medalist Ato Boldon and the former American track and field athlete Trey Hardee. In this particular video, their host Ahmed Fareed talks about Noah Lyles while giving references to his three world championships this year.

He then asks the panel, What more do the panel think about him coming out of him now? To this, Ato Boldon replies “Noah has to be given a lot of credit for what he has figured out. He has figured out the 100, and for somebody who, as gifted as he is in the 200, this is something which I explain it to people by saying this is like trying to eat with your left hand if you’re right-handed.”

He further emphasized that Lyles has mastered everything, making him truly deserving of all the accolades he has received thus far. This is a small addition to the growing list of admirers who have applauded Lyles after his triple world championship victory.
