Yeah Lyles' abilities cannot be understated, but it also pleases me to see Wayde van Niekerk on top of the 400 once again
Helps a lot when Norman and Kerley have gone down to the 100 and 200.
@@sonojah norman doesn’t run the 400 anymore?
@@donovanvogler3138After he won his worlds at the 400 he has said he is dropping down and focusing on the 100 and occasional 200. I'm assuming he's injured because he hasn't run much if at all this year.
Kerley was not that Good at the 400 bro. Also Van Niekerk has a much higher potential then Norman
@@andreashammar3548 Fred Kerley has the 8th fastest 400m of all time. Wtf you talking about he wasn't that good at the 400?
Is it just me or is anyone else happy for wade vannikerk coming back and winning?
Yhhh
I've been a fan of Wade's since before those Olympics when he set the world record...It was absolutely heart wrenching to me to watch him struggle.. perform at far below his potential the last # of years and I'm elated that he is returning to his championship form! If anyone can run the first sub 43 second 400 it'll be him! So humble and great sense of class he is...
Oh hell yes !! Was just commenting that ,while Im always in the corner of our athletes here in the states, I just can't help myself from pulling for Wade whenever he races. He is such a farging phenomena.
Yep, me too. Amazing athlete, glad he's getting back to top form.
Absolutely! As a fellow ACL club member, I can’t be more happy for him!
Loved seeing him and Bolt embrace after the win.Congrats to Lyles on the win🎉
The man is putting it together...what a stride! Awesome insight as to how his coach has him being trained.
Love seeing how focused he is, and how he listens to his coach. I like his coach's strategy of incrementally increasing his training goals as he proves he can manage the faster times.
I really love the way he runs hard to the finish line. Every race is a statement for him and every finish is an opportunity to humble his opposition with times they can't match.
And if he does happen to catch a magic day with great conditions and running his absolute best, you won't see him missing the world record by .05 because he jogged across the finish line to look cool.
The lack of showboating is what I love about him, just powers through and respects the clock.
@@pervyboy69 I am so tired of hearing, "Look how fast he ran and how much faster it would have been if he just didn't quit the end. He was jogging!"
Such a complete cop-out and if someone's so narcissistic they can't win a race without slowing down and expecting us to fill in the gaps as to how fast they would have been if they just tried like a professional.
Pretty Much>Yet
@@SDesWriter I hear you, athletes easing up in heats when they have a final ahead I understand, but in a final fucking get your best time.... You never know when an injury will end it all so be rembered for the time you deserve.
Absolutely agree. I love to see the fastest humans on the planet testing themselves every time they're in a final. The only place for sub flat out is in the rounds of major competition or National Championships. It's great to see him pushing it so we can actually "see" a 19.6 instead of 19.95 but woulda coulda shoulda!
It's interesting that both Bolt and Lyles have similar personalities. They lock in when they need to but have fun in the moment. Bolt was known for dancing and have a fun personality on the track and Lyles seems to have the same sort of look. I think the mental between the two showcases how important it is to enjoy what you are doing to get the best out of it.
THANK YOU, Erriyon Knighton for kicking Lyles in the
seat of his pants!
At the end of 2021, Noah was looking like he was done, but
when Erriyon showed-up from high school, and everybody started
bragging on him, Noah's pride got hurt.
And from then on out, he threw himself back in the fray.
We have KNIGHTON to thank for this.
There's no telling what he's going to do!
@@user-sl7vh8lb6m WOW" THAT IS AMAZING....ITS PRETTY MUCH INSANE.... NOBODY BEATS ANYONE..UNLESS HE'S ON SOMETHING...SO ASK YOURSELF...WHY ISN'T SOMEONE ELSE SAYING...THE SAME THING ABOUT KNIGHTON...ITS HAS TO BE THE ONLY REASON WHY HE IN THE CONVERSATION...MY POINT IS THIS" THESE GUYS HAS TO TRAIN..DIET"..AND STAY IN SHAPE"...BUT TO SMASH SOMEONE..TO KICK DIRT ON A PERSONS NAME... BECAUSE THEY HAVE A WINNING SPIRT" IS JUST PLAIN HATING" KEEPING IT 100? IT IS WHAT IT IS" 100?
@@user-sl7vh8lb6mfunny how you have no proof
He’s going for it this year
I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about too because I agree
Lol
It really looks like it.. wishing him all the very best..and I am a Jamaican..
I hope these athletes
Keep pushing the limits. As crazy as it sounds, eventually we will see someone break 19, at a certain point we were waiting for people to break 20 seconds. That didn’t happen I til almost the 70’s. I think it was 68.
Noah cant break 19:19 not even Blake 19: 26 mi sure a that. He's a great athlete bt him no deh pon da level deh
PLEASE STAY HEALTHY NOAH!!!!!!
Lyles is the only one within striking distance of the world record and I think he can do it!
I dont think its impossible but the thing that tells me its gonna be Hard is that His 19.3 was His best race Ever. I dont know if we Will see that Good of a Lyles start agian but He needs it if He wants the wr.
EK is not too far from it..
Noah has a good chance.
Go look at Bolt running 19.58s in the cold driving rain in Lausanne in about 2013 or so. Everyone thought he was crazy to run so fast in such horrible conditions. 19.19 is likely safe until these current guys run 19.5 like a training run. Worse now Noah is doubling...
Not a chance in hell
Participating in the 100m events will really help Lyles with that first 100m for the 200m record.
You got it there. He has no choice but to double both events without preference within 9 months he'll have improved in both. He doesn't need to bypass racing 100m. It's not so difficult for him to do. That's the only way out for Lyles
Yep. He PR’d by two tenths in the 200m and he’s also PR’d in the 60m by two tenths this year. All he needs is to go 0.02 seconds faster to go below 19.3. Progress is never linear, so we’ll see what he drops on more televised stages.
Lyles will have to be running sub 9.8 to have a shot at the 200m record
@@ianm8218 he ran a 9.16 for the second 100 during that 19.31 American record. A 10.02 or better first 100 would have gotten him under 19.19
The Lyles-Bolt salute is what sports is about. Amazing 🤩
Nice touch to see the camaraderie with Bolt and Lyles after the race, doh...
Love seeing the mutual love, respect shown by Lyles and Bolt!😊
His locs are growing nicely.
What I respect most about Lyles is that he genuinely believes that he can break Bolt’s world record in the 200m. I am not saying that he will do it but I know that he will improve if he keeps working hard and improving !!!
Every sprinter probably thinks they have it in them. It's just the spirit... But btw, Nyles also thinks he is going to break the 100 m WR, so better not go by what he says. 😂
Lyles, Kerley, and Allen all have that confidence that they can and will break the world record in their respective specialties. They are certain and secure about their abilities to perform and win (if not win, then progress compared to their previous races). That’s good, it means that they have a drive to go faster beyond just “progress.”
@@Andrew-ry9be Kerley especially, it's something else to totally shift from being among the best 400 m runners into an event almost anyone at first glance would be puzzled he got into and then excel at it.
He's young and strong and competing in good form. It's possible for him to break Bolt's record. All the best to him.👌👍🇯🇲
I love the interview you showed.
Sometimes I feel like you are talking for two minutes without giving relevant input but these were amazing insights!
Dont want Usain's world record to go..but if Noah do it, i wont feel bad..❤🇯🇲
I want all the records to go. The sport is boring if noone comes nowhere close to any wr. Take the womens 400 and 800 records for example. Those two records are more untouchable than flo jos records.

He not beating bolts 100 meter record
His strength is insane, he seems to run through the line with no fade, just powering through. Maybe with a sub 10 first 100 his insane strength could carry him to the record.
Lyles meets our Legendary Usain Bolt Welcome to the land of great sprint FACTORY
Usain Bolt's opening 100m in the 200 is impeccable especially considering his height of 6'5" (1.95 meters).
His opening 100 was solid but it was his last 100 that made him unbeatable.
Yohan blake 19.26s with bad start.
@@Max-zv1bu if u take away reaction times, blake ram the fastest 200
@@Max-zv1bu blake only ran 1 sub 20 200m since 2012, and in fact didnt even run under 21 a few seasons, he was dirty as hell. He went from running 19.2,19.4,19.5 to barely running under 21 a year later, Thats why him, bolt, and powell, stayed in jamaica year round, and never stayed for any period of time in the US or england, especially after their teammates got busted in italy.
@@ChocStar99 Blake had some injury issues that contributed to his decline, however some people are under the notion that everyone at the top cheats, which I can’t say is wrong 🤷🏿♂️
I hope he gets the 200m record.
Noah Lyles Coach is obviously very, very astute and concentrates on building strength during the early part of the season. Then "tayloring" or sharpening the athlete as they build towards a Peak performance period, just prior to which ever Championships they are aiming for. Noah even stated that he could go faster in training than what the session required but the Coach cautioned him and held him back, explaining that extreme, full out exertion would have damaged his planned progression towards a peak period. This excellent type of controlled training and racing is something that most College level Coaches ignore as they are really only interested in getting as many points out of the runner as they can in Meets. That's why many College athletes that perform close to their PB's at the beginning of the season (far too early) often don't really progress much by the end of the season during Championship races.
Thanks TRP for another excellent video. Cheers.
I am completely shocked at the early season results bro!! Thanks for bringing the best Athletics content week in week out! You heard me haters!! SHOCKED!
I am shocked to hear that
@@Alolyn I am shocked to hear that many are shocked
Was good having Lyles everyone cheered him on
noah lyles and unsain bolt after the race was so wholesome
If he get the curve right,he can do it...Usain's curve is insane❤🇯🇲
Bolts EVERYTHING. S T R I D E
Now that's really cool of Bolt!!!! Keep it going Lyles!!!
His form is a thing of beautifulness and his timing is excellently fantastically good and stuff.
Bright and articulate
Awesome video! Loved hearing from Lyles and seeing his focus this season. His closing 100m in the 200 is something really special and w it h the right training and dedication, he might just be able to break that record!
He's just so fun to watch . Which is why he's my all time favorite sprinter.
Van Niekirk vs. Gardiner is going to be exciting this year!
If there's one man that can challenge Bolt's records - it's Noah Lyles.
It's a pity that no one is really pushing him on the track.....hope Knighton gets closer to Lyles on the track.
Only the 200 record
@@blaze1148 fr cuz if there's Jo one challenging his times I don't think he'll reach it but I do think he'll get yohan blakes record even without competition
Great athlete , but not breaking 19.19
Lyles may get close, but I think that 19.3 was his perfect race, he may be able to hit 19.2 if challenged but i believe Knighton will be the one to ultimately break the record in the upcoming years.
Listening to Lyles explain his training progression...his diet must really be on point...because the results are only as good as the training, which is only as good as the diet.
I love how the stars are running at home and attracting big talent to run in Jamaica. Lyles is amazing! He will break the WR one day.
Noah is crazy bro dude's form is tight and he's going to get better than what he is now! 🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️😂
I love how he describes his coaches approach.
That 19.67 (0.3) means Lyles only needs 2 more sub 20s clockings to surpass Bolt's total of 34! Blows my mind that 27yr old Zharnel Hughes who ran 20.02 (-0.1) as a 20yr old to finish 5th in the '15 WC 200m Final still hasn't broken 20s! His 20.07 (-0.3) to win the European Champs 200m Final last year is the closest he's been in 8yrs! Should've been a 19.8 guy by now at a minimum like Jereem Richards. Tbf to him, he had a number of injuries that kept him from training for/running the 200m as much as he used to from around 2018 onwards. Plus, he's unlucky in that his Top 3 times of 20.02 (-0.1), 20.05 (-1.4) & 20.07 (-0.3) were run into headwinds, otherwise they would all have been sub 20s clockings. Maybe a new coach/environment is needed?!
I’ve always wanted Hughes to hit sun 20. I think his 100 is low 9.9s. So it’s only a matter of time. It’s hard to say what he lacks, as he has good top speed, endurance, maybe he could work on his start, cause Ik tall guys struggle with that. Msybe a new coach is what he needs to go sub 20. He’s not far from British records in the 1 and 2
@@NathanEall Yeah talent-wise he's been the best 100/200m British Male Sprinter of the last few years (9.91/20.02) and like Dina, should really be the British Record Holder in both by now, as well as a multiple global medallist! At almost 28, the next 3 Global Champs should hopefully be in the prime of his career, and i'm hoping he can make both 100/200m Finals (w/o his trademark false starts) in Budapest, Paris & Tokyo hopefully picking up at least one medal!
Damn. Where'd you get Bolt's stats for sub 20s? I didn't know Noah was that close.
Man don't even get me started on Hughes. Man's should've broken 20 eons ago. It's insane how he hasn't done it. It almost baffles me as much as Asafa's under performances in finals. Man I don't think he's even broken 20 wind aided.
@@khumokwezimashapa2245 Ran 19.93 (3.6) in Miami, FL in April 2021, roughly converts to 20.07 - 20.16 (0.0).
Love it!!! Congrats to all medalists!!!
Lyles appears to be directly performing according to the expectations he’s set, based on his training regimen. And he doesn’t appear to be plateauing or breaking.. which is key. His team knows how to make HIM faster.
He will break his American record this year
I think he breaks the wr if conditions allow. Rain, negative wind and cold temps are what could stop him.
He has propably the best Sprinting form ever
If someone breaks the GOAT’s 200m WR it is Noah.
No matter what happens Bolt’s legacy will never be forgotten. But this man is writing his own and I hope we will see a 19:18-10
His form is amazing, but I think Asafa’s was better.
Ditto That! Thanks! Peace.
Asafa was better in the 100 but in the 200 Lyles has some of the best form ever and he knows how to break the race down
Jesus Christ is coming back! We must repent before it’s too late.
God is calling you because He wants to save you ❤️ you can have everlasting life but only if we have Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour! He is the only way to heaven and He wants to bring you there. Today’s the day.
Come to Jesus, He loves you! God bless you.
Honestly, this didn’t even look like his best form
imagine the work put into getting another one tenth of a second. We should cheer for all of these great people. The men and women.
lyles is one of if not the best finisher in the 200m imo, his last 50-60m walks almost any deficit down or stretches his lead further, the strength he has to not only get upto his top end speed but to keep it all the way thru to the tape is 2nd to none atm with only fahnbulleh or kerley close, from previous vids u highlighted his new found 60m speed and faster starting which can only stand him in good stead for that faster bend he needs, if he can stay injury free and catch a break with normal to slightly favourable conditions then i dont think its "if" he can break the record its "when" can he break it, another great vid TRP keep them coming theyre much appreciated
Like I’ve always said Bolts superpower is that he can get out of the blocks as a tall man just as fast as shorter men. I imagine he trained to take shorter steps early on and then increase his stride beyond the drive phase.
Definitely, if not this year for sure the next!
Best start I’ve seen from Jackson!
He needs that sub 10 curve, then he gon get it
With Lyles on da track....its lik hes running from something happily....👍🏾💪🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
if he stays injury free he's definitely got a good chance of beating 19.19, if not in Budapest maybe in Paris next year
Only worry is stride length and can he stay healthy at only 5"11
This guy has the right mix of confidence,skill, desire,and intelligence to come close to bolt. I think he will do it. Mark it 👇! If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I doubt it😊👍
Lyles be motoring crazy with that perfect form. Pray he keeps those hamstrings healthy
I’m a huge Noah Lyles fan. Not sure he can break bolts record, but it’s sure going to be fun to see him try for his next the next 2/3 years of his peak! Great to see WVN back. I hope he can drop a 43.50 here soon.
Noah does not run the 200, he IS the 200
A 200 meter specialist ....
Lyles is the man right now.. once knighton gets older and stronger the 200m will be his
Coach is smart-Working Noah up slow and steady to not blow anything out! Noah STAY wise disciplined in the pocket ma man. Steady as she goes.
I Love how usain Bolt greeted noah lyles .I am a lyles fan but I must say I LovecUsain bolt ,because he is a showman like lyles,Bolt and Lyles are the Greatest Athlets of all time. TWO KINGS
Eddie, Lyle is nowhere near Bolt in greatness. Don't be bias 😂😂
Jah jah. God speed bredda
19.19 seems to be within reach for Lyles, nobody is near 9.58
I believe he can do it, especially with the type of coaching that he has. Either way, it's gonna be awesome to watch him try 💪🏾💜💛💚
Bolt is cool as fk! love the way he embraced Lyles, with genuine hugs, and big smiles. Very nice
There's no way he'll do it.....but I hope he does!
Lyles at his best is just him against the clock now
Pretty much. Noone else has been able to close the gap. Knighton has to find an answer to Lyles top end while also finding a way to beat him off the turn. If Lyles comes off the turn first nobody will catch him
I think lyles will have to break 19.19 in a meet after Worlds. Where there aren't any rds, just a single 1 off race with great weather conditions. Wind at back.. kinda like Elaine Thompson ran the 10.54 in a diamond league meet after the Olympics
He’ll at WORST win the gold at Budapest and I won’t say whether he’ll break the record BUT I do think he’ll prob get Yohan’s 19.26
I can agree there Lyles is definitely the favorite for gold in men's 200 and it isnt particularly close. His only real comp may be knighton who is currently .22 seconds behind him at the same point in the season. That gap is closable but not sure if knighton can close it this year especially since his 100 times havent improved.
19.23

That boy high steppin!
I think something to keep in mind about Bolt's WR in the 200 is he ran it into a headwind. I imagine if it was closer to the +2.0m/s allowable time it'd be close to 19.0 flat, and that would be absolutely untouchable. You can see Bolt struggling to maintain his speed in the dying stages of the race as his stamina runs out. I think Lyles in the right conditions in the next 1-2 years can take this record.
My Sophomore year in High School I ran my first 200m of the 400 in 19secs; My coach want meet us at the 200 mark and the last 100m to shout out the time; The moment she said 18, 19! The crowd went 😮oooh! … it was a fight to the end but I ran a 47 that night; I hated that I did have the support I needed to continue running because I could have been great, but I truly TRULY enjoy seeing Lyles constantly reaching new heights and getting closer to becoming the new world record holder.
Yes he can do it this World Championship.
As a Jamaican, if Noah breaks the record I’d be please, you just have to live the guy
There's no reason to think Lyles can't go below 19.19. He's JUST entering his prime at 25. With his physiology, long legs and stride but only 5'11'', and massive top end speed, and mentality there's no reason he doesn't run below 19.3 this season. If you're with .05 of a WR in a sprint there's literally no reason you can't run through that WR. None. Idk if he does it this or next year but he's doing it. For ME, the question is how fast can Fred Kerley run the 200? If he can dip below 19.5 this year with a lot in the tank, he may just be able to go faster. Idk tho. He really does not like the turn. Going to be interesting.
Fred kerly will never get the 200 wr unless he learns to run the curve. Kenny bednarek has a better chance than him and erriyon knighton
Mama there goes that man!! 🏃🏾♂️ 💨
Tough. Because bold was a 100m specialist and knows how to execute the turn. All the best, Lyles. Why not?
Bolt was a 400m teen. Settled on 200 and only did 100 as his coach wanted him to do the double by adding the old 400 which gave Bolt the heebie-jeebies. He begged his coach to let him do 100 instead. In his first meet he ran world leading time in the rain of 9.79 IIRC..
@@geometron3646 actually he begged his coach to let him do the 100
@@geometron3646 Bolt didn't run 9.79 in his first meet, get your information correct. He ran 10.03 in his first 100 in Rethymno, end of 2007 season. I remembered laughing when I saw his name in the line up. I call Spearmon to win and Bolt to run about 10.2 because of his 'slow' turn over. My first thought after the 10.03 (after I got over the shock) was the 4x100 WR can be reached.
Love his determination and that his team is on board and trying their best to formulate a plan to get it down. He has insane sprinting stamina but doesnt have Bolt's top end speed or stride length. 19.31 is still aways from 19.19 or below. Hope he proves me wrong though just like Shacarri has been doing thus far (yet to do it on big stage). I'm also assuming Bolt has the all-time record in sub 20 second 200s curious to see where Lyles is as I believe he will retire with that record and put it out of reach for quite some time.
His coach is on point and has the correct understanding.
That training target below your current potential with a gradual close towards peak personal ability is the way to go. There is almost no point in forcing a teenage prodigy to push to their maximum ability at that age (for example). It is much more holistic and goal-oriented to sub-maximally develop and prime the machinery for that end-point to be attained when the physical form and neurodevelopment would support such an outcome. Sprinters usually achieve this between their mid-20s to early 30s. Prior to this, it serves near to no purpose to train and function close to your maximal output and inherently increases the risk of injury that would almost certainly reduce the upper limit of potential ability. Any Achilles' tendon rupture or hamstring tear would almost certainly reduce the output and result (sprint times, peak velocity) that could have been delivered otherwise.
Often the hardest part is the psychological and mental reframing that is required in individuals who are so highly driven in such a pursuit. Sometimes, it can be to their detriment.
Wow I want to see a match-up of Lyles and Kerleys top speeds!
Noah lyles now become a sports philosopher. He actually talking about a triangle of "telos, logos&pathos" 😎
How wasn’t this place packed our?? I would’ve assumed track was huge in Jamaica… Especially with Bolt there
We had really heavy all island rains for about 3 days...I think that is the reason..the athletes weren't even able to warm up outside, they did it inside the hallways of the stadium
It was a rainy night! That's the reason!
We had rain for the entire week some sections of the island were flooded … more rain was predicted for the afternoon of the event and it actually fell at the national stadium earlier so most fans stayed away …. Nam Jamaica
Lyles is phenomenal but Knighton and Boling are right on his tail. Can’t wait to see what these 3 do in Paris next year.
Who is boles
@@stephentrader9142 Typo. I meant Boling
@@Beast_Mode_Jones What about Laird, Kerley, Norman, Bednarek, Coleman ? As good as Boling is, they all do have faster pbs than him.
I love track and field
I remember when Alto Bolden said that Noah was the next great sprinter at 19. The man knows talent.
He was doing it in highschool
LFG!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The best aspects of Erriyon Knighton and Noah Lyles was one 200 meter runner they record would be done. Let's see if these amazing athletes can push themselves even further
whew that would be one tough record to break. Lyles has the closing speed but bolts combo ability in the 100m/200m that is insane. He already has the closing pace for a 200m wr as you pointed out but we need to see him run much faster in an open 100m. I dont see him breaking Bolts 200m record unless he can get his 100m PR much closer to bolts open 100m wr. Bolts turn in his 200m WR was so insane it still stuns to this day. Never seen anyone eat up a turn like that.
Hell yeah!
Yo wtf Siffan Hassan just ran thr 7th fastest all-time 10.000m yesterday. And today she ran the 1.500m in an time as fast as Laura Muir in Florence yesterday (3:57)
She is crazy
Id like to see Noah tie Usain s record
welldone bro
Congrats to u Noel
First! great videos
I say his PB will go down to a 19.2
His breaking the record
Really happpy for noah...
Can you also do a video about shericka Jackson 100m
If Knighton can bring out 19.4 again, it'll push Noah to 19.1. Mark my words
Mark your words, right. All mighty one...
I agree. Knighton running 19.4 would definitely push Lyles to 19.1 as he likes chasing people down. If they both reach their full potential you may even have two men break 19.4 in the same race for the first time ever.
To think that people were saying that no one would ever get near Bolt's records - or not for decades - and here you have Noah Lyles knocking on the door. TBF, in saying that, they were ignoring Yohan Blake...
Who are the people saying that? That's just rubbish. MJ ran 19.32 s 12 years before Usain ran his 19.30 s. So, of course some top sprinters will get close. Yohan ran 19.26 s 2 years after Usain got his 19.19 s. Some elite sprinter may get close and some even break his time, but the odds arw not that high.
While blakes 19.26 is impressive it is pointless for Lyles to focus on that. If he trains to beat 19.19 and misses he will beat 19.26.,but if he trains to beat 19.26 and misses he wont come close to 19.19. Remember Bolts went from 19.30 to 19.19 and he only ran his fastest times on championship settings. Considering Lyles ran 19.31 just last year if he gets a favorable wind and improves first 100 no reason he cant go from 19.31 to 19.18. Ofcourse everything would have to go right to get that record.
He’s nowhere close yet … let’s see if he can beat Yohan Blake 19.26 first
Yes I the he is the one person right now can break the records of bolt
Hard to believe that it was almost 14 years ago that Bolt set his records.
Damn Lyess killed this race wauw
You got it there. He has no choice but to double both events 100m & 200m without preference within 9 months he'll have improved in both. He doesn't need to bypass racing 100m. It's not so difficult for him to do. That's the only way out for Lyles
