Noah Lyles has revealed the gains he has made in his season so far that could see him break Usain Bolt's long-standing world record in the 200 meters in sub 19 seconds.
American sprint sensation Noah Lyles has revealed why the time he achieved as he clinched silver at the World Indoor 60m championships could eventually enable him to run his specialist 200m in sub 19 seconds.
Lyles finished second behind fellow American sprinter Christian Coleman at a time of 6.44, while Yakeem Blake and Ferdinand Omanyala finished third and fourth respectively.
Speaking in a very recent podcast on World Athletics, Lyles has revealed that he was not aiming to run faster than 6.47, something he says has helped him improved marginally, which are gains that could enable him to break Usain Bolt’s long standing 19.19 seconds in the 200m.

“It’s very exciting. Every time I look at these times, I am like, ‘Oh my God!’. Every time I run, it is just icing on the cake,” Lyles told World Athletics.
“The fact that I ran 6.4 was just beyond the goal, and even Boston when I ran the 6.44 the first time, me and my coach did not see that showing up because it is very rare for us.
“In practice, we have a lot of indicators of what I ‘am going to run
“Just in our heads, we were, 49,48, maybe 47, and so seeing the 44 pop up, we were like ‘Oh wow, a completely new conversations’.”

He emphasized the significance of these incremental improvements,.
“All I need is one percent difference to go from running 9.83 to get to 9.70 or 9.69 and so on, and what I have increased on by running that 6.44 is that one percent.”
Lyles remained optimistic about his trajectory, highlighting the potential for further advancements.
