Noah Lyles has been trying to initiate change in the track and field world. With his incredible performances on track and off-track personalities, he is one of the most popular track and field athletes in the world. He spoke to the guardian about being the flag bearer of change in the sport.

“I want to be known as a person who changed the sport. Going out there, being a showman, I love being a showman, I want to encourage other people to say you don’t have to be super aggressive when you go out there for a 100 or a 200,” he said.

Moreover, he opened up about incorporating new styles as he gears up for future races.

“I’ve been thinking of a lot of looks. I’m thinking more of, instead of colours, I’m thinking of how I braid my hair. I’ve been growing it out a lot. I did an interview recently, I was talking about how of course with the Black Lives movement, so many black kids hate their hair,” he added.

Lyles is now gearing up for the upcoming U.S. Olympic trials with the Paris Olympics in his sight.
