Noah Lyles speaks on Olympic postponement, from Global Athletics zoom presser

This is a short piece on Noah Lyles. Noah was gracious enough to speak with a group of media about a month ago, when the IOC decided to postpone the Olympics. Global Athletics put together a zoom conference on Noah Lyles. Noah is a social media godsend, he has fun on twitter and instagram. Noah had not had any experience with zoom before, but he did well.

My belief is this: Noah Lyles has a huge future in front of him. Tokyo 2020 was to be his breakout, now it will be Tokyo 2021. Under the watchful eye of Coach Brauman, Noah Lyles will develop just fine.

For now, it is about keeping one’s health, and one’s sense of humor.

Thanks to Noah Lyles, and special thanks to Global Athletics (Mark Wetmore, Matt McCarron, Sandra Nel-Kurman).
