US sprinter Noah Lyles is aiming to win four gold medals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and also erase Usain Bolt’s 200m record.
Noah Lyles hopes to dominate the 100m, 200m, and lead the USA team to win 4x100m and 4x400m relay events and end the Jamaican domances of the sprints and relays.
The two-time world 200m champion explained that once he sets his mind on something, he ensures that he works towards it and lets God handle the rest.
“That’s a great way of putting it. Once I set my mind to something, I make it come true. That doesn’t mean I just sit back and wish upon a star,” he said in an interview with Daze.
“I put in the work. I control the natural and let God control the super – that’s how you create the supernatural.”
He added that he wants to eclipse Bolt as the greatest athlete of all time.
“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time,” he added concerning the goals he has set for himself.
Meanwhile, Lyles will also be hoping to change the sport and modernize the sport and not only look at major events like the Olympics and World Championships.
“We have to break away from the Olympic model, meaning that we can’t put all of our eggs in that basket. We have to find other ways to modernise the sport and give it more sufficient legs to stand on,” he added.
