World 100m champion Noah Lyles has extended an olive branch to his rivals following the record-breaking performances at the Jamaican Olympic trials.
US double sprints champion Noah Lyles is excited about the build-up to the Paris Games following the exceptional performances at Jamaica Olympic trials.
The world's fastest man who backed his big talking and personality off track by claiming the 100m and 200m titles to seal his spot in the US Olympic team, is already looking forward to the championship in Paris after the jaw-dropping performances produced by his Jamaican rivals at their trials.

US Olympic Trials: Noah Lyles shatters Michael Johnson's 28-year-old record to win 200m final
The trio of Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek, and Erriyon Knighton will represent the USA in the men's 200m event at the Paris Olympics.
Kishane Thompson blazed to the Jamaican 100m title in a jaw-dropping Personal Best (PB) of 9.77s (the joint-ninth fastest time in history), ahead of Oblique Seville in 9.82s (both times faster than Lyles's US title-winning PB of 9.83s), while Ackeem Blake was third in 9.92s.
Their record-breaking performances made room for the men's 100m event to be widely unpredictable on the potential medallists in Paris, which Lyles is wary of in his quest to become the double sprints Olympic champion.
"Shout out to them boys running out there in Jamaica! y’all are really helping to make this a great Olympic championship," wrote the six-time world champion on his X page.

His tweet projected being sarcastic by Jamaican fans as he has been vocal on downplaying the threat their sprinters posed, stating 'Seville can't beat him again in Paris' and Thompson 'staying healthy' to race against him.
