After the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, Noah Lyles sounded bold ever again. “We’re coming after everything,” the 26-year-old world champion blatantly conceded after drawing blood in the 60m event. Without pausing for a second, he added, “All the Olympic medals. I don’t care who wants it. It’s mine.” On the way to Saturday, both sprinters, Noah Lyles and Christian Coleman, carried titles and chances to speak for themselves. But ultimately, Noah overpowered Coleman and proved his supremacy, adding another vivid achievement to his resume.

The homely affair of Noah Lyles with “3-Peat” 

Noah Lyles has once again demonstrated his dominating performance in athletics by achieving a 3-peat victory. Last year, he won the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m events at the World Athletics Championship in Budapest. This time, he has accomplished the same feat in the 60m event, which is his unbeatable domain. The ecstatic champion took to Instagram to share his joy with his fans. “Another national championship Another world lead Another personal best That’s 3 baby”

During his latest performance, he claimed to have improved on his previous record, clocking a better time than he did at the Boston indoor event earlier this year. Notably, Christian Coleman wasn’t present this time, so Noah Lyles didn’t have to defeat him. However, Noah Lyles managed to beat his personal best timing and gain the upper hand on his competitors. Despite having achieved a ‘3-peat’, Noah Lyles didn’t boast about it. Instead, he showed gratitude towards his competitors who made him a better athlete and helped him achieve success, even at the Tokyo Olympics.

So after claiming that milestone of having leading world timing this season, Noah Lyles thanked Christian Coleman for the tough competition. According to him, this tough competition helped him to overcome all the challenges to breach the unabashed 60m stronghold.

So, on that estimate, in the outdoor events as well, Noah Lyles may want such notched competition to reach his “3-Peat” again. That would be a time-tailored factor to watch who would stand against him bravely, as Christian Coleman has been doing in the indoor event these years.
