Athletes to Watch: Noah Lyles Following Usain Bolt’s retirement, the question of the track and field world has been who will replace Bolt. The answer may be more than one person – while Christian Coleman has shown over a year’s worth of dominance in the 100m, Noah Lyles has emerged as the man to beat in the 200m. The two-time Diamond League champion in the 200m recently ran a personal-best 19.50, making him the fourth fastest person in the event all time (behind Bolt, Yohan Blake & Michael Johnson). Lyles’s times in both the 100m and 200m are faster than Bolt’s were at the same age (21), so the possibility of breaking Bolt’s world records exists. Lyles, who won gold in the 200m at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, also boasts an affable personality: he has worn R2D2 socks, danced on the track and channeled Japanese anime character Dragon Ball Z.
