"Met the fastest man alive" - Joscelyn Roberson expresses delight after meeting Noah Lyles in the Olympic Village ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024

Joscelyn Roberson recently shared her thrill after meeting Noah Lyles at the Olympic Village ahead of the 2024 Paris Games in France. While Roberson has accompanied the USA women's gymnastics squad as an alternate, Lyles will compete in the men's 100m and 200m in the track and field events.

Roberson secured her spot as an alternate team member after settling in sixth place in the women's all-around event with a score of 110.975 points at the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials. She also bagged a silver medal in the balance beam event after registering 27.975 points.

Lyles recorded a whopping time of 9.83 seconds in the 100m and 19.53 seconds in the 200m to dominate the two events and secure the Olympic berths during the 2024 Olympic Trials. With only a week left for the Paris Games, he again showed his prospect as a formidable contender by registering a stunning 9.81 seconds in the 100m at the 2024 London Diamond League.

While all the Olympians are residing in the Olympic Village, Roberson had the delightful opportunity to meet Lyles. The gymnast took to social media to share her joy by posting a picture with him and wrote an excitement-filled message.

"GUYS!! I just met the fastest man alive," Roberson expressed.
