Lyles, in an interview with Letsrundotcom, emphasized one of his favorite moments from the docuseries which is set to be released on July 2nd before the 2024 Paris Olympics, stated (starting from 0:30):
“There was a part with Dennis [Mitchell] and Sha’Carri and I’m not going to lie that gave me goosebumps and I was like I need to get to the track right now and run.”
Lyles stated why he liked the part between Sha’Carri Richardson and her coach, adding:
“I really liked that moment because I felt like it encapsulated kind of everything that was going on in a perfect preview to what was going to happen for people who had seen the World Championships that would make them be like - ‘Oh man I got to get more of this.’”
Earlier, in an Instagram post, Lyles shared his opinion on ‘Sprint’ docu-series premiere, stating:
“I would like to Announce the SPRINT has exceeded all my expectations!!!”
