Frederick Richard shared a video on Instagram captioned "Being Trained by the World's Fastest Man" before his 2024 Olympics. In February 2024, the Olympic champion took on a unique role, offering training advice to gymnast Richard. During a video call reflecting on the Flips' performance, the gold medalist remarked:

"What your arms doing man?" I'll get you right."

The gold medalist recommended 20-meter hill sprints to build explosive power and endurance. He then suggested hill jumps to enhance explosive movements. To further develop balance and unilateral strength, he introduced one-leg hill jumps, targeting each leg individually to improve stability.

For agility and precision, Lyles advised practicing speed bounces and, finally, a reaction game to test the ability to respond quickly to cues.

Noah Lyles is recognized as the fastest man in the world because of his exceptional performances in the 100m and 200m sprints at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he secured a gold and a bronze medal.
