Noah Lyles stands out as a fierce force in the world of track and field. With his fiery personality and blazing speed, he has quickly garnered much-deserved attention. The year 2023 has been huge for the reigning World Champion.

From breaking Usain Bolt’s record for the most sub-20 finishes in the 200m category to claiming the prestigious Jesse Owens honor for the third consecutive time, he has proved that he not only talks the talk but runs the talk. And now, in a recent revelation from the “3 Peat” star, he has made another bold claim, stunning the track community.

Noah Lyles makes a bold and candid confession

In a recent post on X, Noah Lyles enthralled his 81.2K followers with a compelling revelation. “Idky, but there has been a lot of 3s in my life this year. 3rd time winning 200m World Championships, 3 Gold medals at Worlds, 3rd US Athlete of the Year, and 3rd American to do the triple at WC. I feel like it means something, but idk what”. This year alone, Lyles has won the gold 100-meter, 200-meter, and 4×100-meter at the 2023 Budapest World Championships. Lyles’ achievements extend beyond a single year as well, as he clinched victory in the 200m and 4x100m events in three consecutive World Championships: 2019, 2022, and 2023.

This extraordinary feat makes him the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to achieve the sprint treble at a World Championship. This confession left fans stunned as he shared this uncanny series of threes, raising speculation about its significance. The surprise deepens as Lyles, who recently claimed the prestigious Jesse Owens honor for the third consecutive time, also finds himself nominated for Athlete of the Year amongst track titans.
