An important track season for Noah Lyles
He came into the limelight after winning the gold medal in the 200-meters competition at the 2017 Diamond League competition in Brussels. This was his calling card. Thereafter, he later dominated the 200-meter events. However, a lot of injuries and other issues dampened his progress. Despite all that, he won at Tokyo and now sets his season-best time for the track and field season.

An able 200-meters sprinter
Ever since he made his debut, Lyles is known for the 200-meters sprinting events. His personal best is 19.50 seconds. Although his recent time is nowhere near his best, it was great for Noah to get in some good game time ahead of the 2022 World Athletics Championships.
His brother Josephus won the 200-meters bronze medal at the World Youth Championships in Cali. He is striving to improve day by day as he hopes to bridge the time gaps between him and his brother. Likewise, his personal best for the 200-meters is 20.03. It is going to take a huge effort to reach the standards his brother sets. Do you think Josephus can catch up to Noah?
