Lyles, who won triple gold medals (100m, 200m, and 4x100m) at the World Championships in Budapest, thereby becoming the fifth man in history to complete the 100m and 200m sprint double at a World Championships, is currently the most talked about male personality in the sport.

Noah Lyles takes Mico Milano guests’ breaths away at the Hugo Boss fashion show
Lyles, whose love for fashion has been well documented, was able to showcase his dress sense at the event, picking up where he left off during the season when he would stun at walk-ins during meets.
However, even with his newfound finesse this season, Lyles still acknowledges the supremacy of Bolt as the one who paved the way both on and off track.
In an interview with athleticsweekly.com, the 26-year-old talked about how he has been a good influencer for athletics and gunning to leave a greater legacy at the end of his career.

“Consistency wins medals. Consistency creates legacies,” he stated. “You can look at Bolt’s career and, yes, it’s very nice to say that he has the world record, but it’s even cooler for him to say that 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.
“So every time that I go into a race and I’m able to say I’m going to be running 19 is another moment of consistency and more proof that I’m healthy, that I’m fast, that I’m constantly moving in the right direction,” said Lyles.
