ATHLETICS Noah Lyles doubles down on his criticism of 2023 World Athlete of the Year Awards debacle
American sprint king Noah Lyles has continued his criticism over how World Athletics handled the 2023 World Athlete of the Year Awards.
The University of Arkansas student/athlete had an unbeaten run through the indoor and outdoor season. He won the NCAA Division One double as well as the double in one of the toughest conferences, the Southeast Conference (SEC).
Whilst making a mark on the global stages, Hibbert set two World Under-20 records, indoors and outdoors, and was the first freshman to take the award.
He also competed in the senior category at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary but he did not compete in the final of the category despite winning in the qualification stage.
