The entire track world is looking forward to one of the most anticipated events of the Olympic season-USATF NYC Grand Prix.

The monochromatic clip that he released with the description is enough to pique someone’s interest because it contains numerous intriguing features.

“Am not worried u going to outshine em all.”
With all of the anticipation, the fans know that Lyles has never disappointed his audience, as they know something is on the way.

The six-time world champion is excited about the forthcoming event, which will be his first 200-meter race of the Olympic season. His statements about breaking the world record were noticed by none other than Usain Bolt, who also wants him to challenge the long-standing record.
Noah Lyles Makes it to the Radar of Usain Bolt
Getting recognized by the Sprint King himself is a huge accomplishment for any athlete out there. In an interview with Citius Mag, Usain Bolt confesses that watching Noah Lyles race in major 200-meter competitions has been on his watchlist because he is the best possibility for the Jamaican legend to attempt to smash the long-standing world record of 19.19 seconds.
Bolt set this time in the 2009 World Championships, and he wants someone to come close to or even beat it. The track legend became interested in the six-time world champion after he shattered the American record with a 19.31 at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. The Olympic season is important, and he believes that this will be an excellent opportunity for the American athlete to give it his all.
