The Jamaican sprinter, while highlighting the determination that is needed to break the record, stated, “The chances are always there. I mean, it’s going to take a lot more work and determination. I’ll always say anything is possible; don’t take limits, but I didn’t make it easy, so it’s not going to be a walkover; it’s not going to be a cake run, so all I can do is wish him all the best.
Interestingly, this message came after Noah Lyles failed to keep his promise of breaking the record at the World Athletics Championship. The 26-year-old American athlete clinched his gold at the 200m finals of the 2023 Worlds by storming through the track in 19.52 seconds, 33 seconds apart from Bolt’s record. Lastly, Bolt’s legacy continues to remain strong even after 14 years, as Noah decided not to aim to break the record at the Diamond League finals. The 26-year-old tried to show off his skill on the 100-meter tracks of Oregon instead.
