With Noah Lyles Aiming Usain Bolt’s Record, Jamaican Legend Asafa Powell’s “Unbreakable” Prediction Gets Backing by Another USA Veteran

The track and field world has been electrified since Noah Lyles boldly proclaimed, “We’re coming after everything. All the Olympic medals. I don’t care who wants it. It’s mine.” This year, the 27-year-old US Indoor Champion is on a mission not only to secure all the medals but also to mark his name in history as the fastest man alive by shattering Usain Bolt‘s 100m and 200m world records. Usain Bolt himself has given Lyles his blessing in this endeavor.

However, despite this, Asafa Powell, who twice held the 100-meter world record between June 2005 and May 2008, has voiced his prediction about the 100-meter record, deeming it unbreakable. Adding weight to Powell’s assertion, four Olympic gold medalists and veteran track stars from the USA have chimed in.
