Noah Lyles Considers Usain Bolt’s Consistency As Defining Point of Sprint Legend’s Legacy

• Noah Lyles won the 100m and 200m gold medals at the 2023 IAAF World Athletics Championships
• Usain Bolt has held the world record for the 100m and 200m sprint events since August 2009
• Lyles spoke on World Mental Health Day about the importance of addressing everyday vulnerabilities

Noah Lyles is climbing to the summit of track life and plans to stay there.

The American phenomenon is primed to challenge the achievements of sprint hero Usain Bolt, and looks to the Jamaican for inspiration on finding longevity.

Celebrating World Mental Health Day on October 10, Lyles opened up about how the mind works in tandem with the body.

Lyles joined an elite club when he became only the fifth man ever to win 100m and 200m sprint double at the IAAF World Championships.

Lyles has multiple World Championship gold medals to his name, but only recorded a bronze medal at the delayed Tokyo Olympics, when he was 23.

To be spoken of in the same breath as Bolt, he will need to make an impact at the Paris Olympics next year.

Lyles looks to Bolt’s career and places his overall medal haul of eight Olympic gold medals above Bolt’s two world records.

As quoted by Pulse Sports, Lyles explained:

"Consistency wins medals. Consistency creates legacies. He has eight Olympic gold medals. That’s the epitome of consistency. Nobody else in the history of the sport has been able to do that."

Keeping his mind as fit as his body can open that door, and Lyles shared some introspective thoughts.

Speaking to the Olympics on World Mental Health Day, Lyles said:

"I've been in therapy since I was probably nine years old, so this is not foreign to me. It's very normal. It's natural.

"Mental health isn't its own entity, it's everyday life. It's the feeling of being vulnerable that stops you from wanting to talk about it. But it's still the same everyday things you go through all the time and it's like, 'Let's start simple'."
