Noah Lyles is on a mission to make history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning quadruple gold in four different events. After making his international debut in the 4x400m relay at the Indoor World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, Lyles is now focusing on his 100m roots in the Bahamas.
The only two men to have achieved four athletics gold medals at a single Games are Carl Lewis and Jesse Owens, but their tallies included a long jump title, unlike Lyles’ attempt at four sprint events. Despite facing doubts from some critics, Lyles is determined to prove that he is serious about his pursuit of quadruple Olympic gold.
In a recent interview with Reuters, Lyles emphasized his commitment to his goal and dismissed any thoughts that he was just seeking attention. During his first attempt at the 4x400m relay in Glasgow, Lyles showed his potential by being the fastest of all third legs, although his individual time was not the quickest among his American teammates.
With his sights set on achieving a historic feat in Paris, Noah Lyles is prepared to push himself to the limits and showcase his versatility as a sprinter in pursuit of quadruple Olympic gold.
