@@Scrapluv Noah wasn’t that impressive winning the 100M at the Olympic a matter of fact he shear that time with that young boy out of Jamaica.. And go along with the stunt he pull after losing the 200M..
@@tyeguy5373 Even if that were true, WTF does any of that have to do with what's being said? Even in the Olympics, the 100m finals for both men and women had more buzz and prestige around it. You're talking about something else.
He ain't lying. Track fans and casual fans only glaze at the 100m dash. They did a whole big intro with lights and everything at the Olympics for the finals. They should have done the same thing for the 200m and 400m finals. The 100m is "considered" the fastest man or woman alive race. No other race gets attention like this. Noah's personality whether you like or hate it is what got him attention in the first place while winning. It was until he started winning in the 100m race that his fame took off like a rocket. You can say the same for Bolt. The man ran solid 400m races but it wasn't until he dropped down to the 100m and 200m races (along with breaking records in 2008) that we soared on a global scale. Just treat all the races the same and people might start to respect all the races as equal.
@@kingabzthebabz8493And why do you thing it's made the last event of the day? Anyway the other finals are not run on the same day so, that still doesn't hold water. The 100m will always be "the" event other events may only draw that much of attention if someone in the event is doing something extraordinary or there is serious rivalry in that particular event.
What’s the difference in Noah saying this about the 200m and Fred saying the same about the 400m after he won world 100m gold?? The 100m brings the money, notoriety, and eyes, it’s the hard truth
They want so badly to humble him. He’s the corny nerdy black dude and Fred is seen as cool, and hood. Which one do you think people are gonna humble the most ?
@@shayburton4104 literally! It’s extremely tiring atp and I hope he continues to shine bright since so many are hellbent on diming his light and accomplishments
@@shepherdsitenta5717 and what’s so crazy if you watch his stuff or anything outside of the press conferences, he’s extremely humble. Look at how he was the first to congratulate Thompson as they were waiting on the winner to show up. That’s class and humility!
"No one cares about the 200m" and yet the 2024 Men's track athlete of the year is Letsile Tebogo the Olympic 200m champion... I wonder if Noah's sentiments would be the same if he had won the 200m gold in paris ..Micheal Johnson was a 200/400 sprinter and yet he is still popular than a lot of 100m sprinters
That might be too broad a statement, but Noah might be a little more invested because he loves the 200 meters so much and it doesn't get the love he'd like. Plus he was answering a very specific question about which he'd rather get a gold medal for in 2025 : 100m v 200m. The 100 is the premier event, hence the moniker, "World's fastest man or woman" is for running that distance. I don't think it's only because the 100 is so fast, because many love the hurdles (100, 110, 400) and the 400 m flat also. It's just the 200 is a sort of in-between distance. It's like an accessory to the 100m almost
While he is right that the 200m doesn't get the same attention and I agree that 100m gold seems more valuable for him at this point in his career, his comments just sound bitter here. A year ago he was saying the 200m is his "wife", and he has no competition in the event. Now, only after losing in the Olympics, his opinion on the 200m has magically changed. "Nobody really cares about the 200m anyways" just feels like he's coping for his loss. Additionally, his comment regarding losing the athlete of the year to Mondo also just seems to be in bad taste. "I broke the American record, and they still didn't give me the award"... Noah broke the American record by 0.01 seconds, and Mondo broke the WORLD record three times. Noah both seems to be discrediting Mondo, and generally just sounds unduly salty for losing an award that was never his to begin with.
It's funny he says that, because when he got bronze in the 200m at the Paris Olympics, all of the casuals and haters completely forgot that he won gold in the 100m and clowned him for getting beat in the 200m.
This isn't true. Yes haters clowned him for the 200m but they would've anyway. Casuals who watched him win gold didn't forget. Just because haters are louder doesn't make it true.
Noah is only saying the 200m does not matter because he did not win it in Paris. Its agreed that the 100m is the blue ribbon event which brings the attention.
@Cgytfghij Noah believe the world revolve around him and he bearly crack 9.7 and he shears that time with Kishane Thompson. He need to run faster which is going to be difficult to dominate next season..
@ No one cares who he shares the time with, he won the Olympic gold medal. Close mouths don’t get fed.. and with Noah wanting to transcend the sport he has to take up space and get loud to be noticed.
@@tyeguy5373look at where being quiet got him he was a nobody in 2019-2021 his only sponsors being adidas he remained under the radar up until he won the American record, and when he won in Budapest and his career has seen a huge trajectory. Hes doing what needs to do to help grow his career. Being quiet isn’t gonna cut it.
Nah, I've been supporting Noah for years arguing with people about how he brings eyes to the sport. Though the 200 is important because he made it important. He lost to Tobogo while he had Covid and now the 200 his, "wife" is a race no one cares about? I care and always been a 200 fan. Maybe because that was my better race vs my 100.
Tebogo is arrogant asf, he just doesn't talk like Noah does. His celebrations are crazy. Recall the U20 100m final where Tebogo turned and pointed to second place for the last 30m
Noah didn’t lie 😂. The people who are upset are reacting to the facts. During the 100m Olympic final, there were lights all over the track, fans were lighting up the stadium, and suspenseful music was playing. That’s because the 100m is one of the most popular events in track and field. Whether or not you like Noah’s personality, it’s clear the 200m has never received the same level of attention. Tebogo gained recognition because he beat track’s biggest showboat-Noah, the reigning three-time world champion from the previous year.
Yes! DeGrass did not receive this much attention after winning the 200m Olympic title because Noah by then was not big in the sport per 100m accolades.
He's literally one of the best 200m runners of all time. He's right. It's fun for us to watch, but to the average joe, the 100m dash is the main event.
Noah can’t win. Every interview he does, a soundbite will always go viral-it’s almost inevitable, lol. I watched the whole interview, and honestly, I’m not mad at it. I knew it would stir the pot. Noah is Noah; that’s his experience. Tebogo winning Athlete of the Year kind of negates that point, but again, it’s his opinion, given in response to a specific question, and it reflects his own perspective. That’s just where I stand. I still don’t get whose opinion he’s really swaying, though, especially since he gets so much hate.
@@browninTT But he shouldn't have won athlete of the year, he had a worse season than both Mondo and even Holloway so I don't think it negates his point at all. I don't know if they changed the way it is determined because there's no way a committee of people who actually know about track chose Tebogo over both of those athletes, they legit had perfect seasons.
The thing is that Tebogo 2024 years was worse than Noah 2022 when he lost... so him winning is kinda weird....Mondo went undefeated this years and broke 3 WR
@@Rayan2track That’s why I added, “but again, it’s his opinion, given in response to a specific question, and it reflects his own perspective.” Like you, I asked the same question. Just yesterday, someone with no real interest in Track and Field said they wanted Julien Alfred to win Female Track Athlete of the Year, and I replied, “Nah, not against Sydney, who was basically unopposed all year, breaking records left and right. She earned it.” But then they asked, “So how did Tebogo win?” and I’m like, “Okay, you got me there, lol.” Outside of the 300m record, someone with more knowledge could probably explain the nuances better. I don’t want to say it’s a definite “rub it in” for Noah-does that make sense?-but I’ve been sensing that vibe. Just imagine the conversations happening behind closed doors, especially after hearing Kenny’s mom tell him, after he won silver, “You didn’t get the gold, but you beat, you know who.” Beating Noah seems to be the goal. But I digress.
I've only watched the first 1.34 minutes. This is why people take issues with Noah. He has always said he preferes the 200m and it's his baby. Now that he lost the 200m, he is saying he would take the 100m over the 200m. I'm an avid track guy and the 200m is my favorite event. What Noah said about Bolt in 2017 running the 100m shows that he needs to be more informed as an athlete. Bolt only ran the 100m in 2017 because it's much easier to train for and his season was condensed. He literally cruised that season and had decided he would only run one event because of the ease of training for the 100 vs the 200. Running the 200 would require him to do 400m training which he dint want to do. Like i said, i haven't finish the video but we have to be careful of putting out these ideas about nobody cares about a particular event. If people look at track experts, athletes and abalysts, and they are saying an event is not releveant, then that event becomes deminished in the eyes of casual fans. There is already narrative out there now regarding field events. One reason i always respected Bolt is that he consistently said his favorite event and the one he cares the most about is the 200m. It wasn't about the hype, he stayed true to himself.
That is just disingenuous, it's the same reason as why we saw Fred Kerley going down to the 100m, the 100m is just way bigger and it's a fact. The 200m may be Lyles' favorite event but as Kerley said about the 400m (that is kinda in the same realm of popularity) "it doesn't pay shit" 😂. If you ask that question to any sprinter they're most likely going to answer the 100m because there's no reason not to, it's more popular in the track community and especially for non track fans, you'd get more money from appearances fees and endorsements and possibly cash prizes. Except if you're already an household name in the 100m with multiple golds there's NO WAY you're choosing the 200m gold.
@@trogpo That's actually true, I didn't see the end of his comment! It is indeed of bad look to down play the 200m like that, I said something similar in a comment of mine
He didn’t disparage the 200 as his baby. He’s acknowledging what the market values and he’s being honest. Fans can recite 100m Olympic gold medalists back to Jesse Owens and Bob Hayes. Most of those same fans can’t name a 200 winner without doing the double.
What Noah lyles just said is right . Nobody cares about the 200m. Usain bolt is still widely considered the fastest human of all time because of the 100m event, not because of the 200m event. Everybody should know that by now. Yohan blake may have run faster than Usain bolt over 200m distance. But when it comes to ghe 100m, he is still 0.11 seconds away from Lightning Bolt ⚡️😤👌🏾.
I mostly agree with what you said, it is a bit hypocritical to down play the 200m now that he's gotten better in the 100m even though there's a lot of truth to his comment. But about the Athlete of the year comment (idk when the video was recorded) this is such a terrible timing because Tebogo won it despite Mondo having without a doubt a better season. I don't really see how you can win over Mondo as a sprinter without breaking a major record (300m not being held in major championships) and winning only 1 individual medal the WHOLE year.
Mondo lost to Tebogo although Mondo had a stellar season similar to the one he had when Noah lost to him.. These commentaries are disingenuous at best.. I see the attempt at trying to be impartial but that bias against Noah always seeps through.
@@Cgytfghjj Exactly where I'm getting at, but to be honest maybe he recorded the video before the announcement of the results for athlete of the year (And Imo Holloway should've won Track athlete of the year, but that's another debate)
@@Rayan2trackI’m glad he recorded prior to the realization of Tebogo winning because it highlights the hate that Noah receives even from those who pretend to be giving constructive feedback.. I’m sure the justification for why Tebogo won against Mondo will be packaged and wrapped in a bow for all to enjoy.
@@Rayan2track Noah is referring to the season in which he broke the 200m American record, not to the last season. But his exaggerated subjectivity is manifest here too, as it appears that he truly believes that breaking the American record is more worthy of the prize than breaking several times the world record in the pole vault.
The 100m, the 200m dash, or any number of other events, are made popular when won by athletes who know how to attract attention and stir interest. The personalities in question must be somewhat more important than the event itself, and winning isn’t always the most important thing. Noah Lyles fits the bill, as do Gabby Thomas, ShaCarri Richardson, Mondo, Syd, Tara, Athing Mu, Masai Russell, and even Fred Kerley with that baleful look on his face. These athletes also are skillful at drawing the attention of people who want to see them lose.
I don't think any of the athletes you named other than Noah Lyles actually bring attention to the sport. Noah actively tries to bring attention to himself by saying crazy stuff like "World Champions of What" and collaborating with content creators outside of track and field like MrBeast and Speed. Most non track fans have no clue who Athing Mu or Masai Russell are
Mondo won because he broke the world Record. Tebogo is more popular after the 200m Olympic medal so if he wants to concentrate on the 100 where I feel he is about hit his ceiling, he will be giving u on silverware, Kishane, Seville, Tebogo, Fred will braii him in 2025
Whilst Tebogo is a popular figure, based on his season, I wouldn't personally have him for World Athlete or World Track Athlete of the Year over Mondo and even Grant.
@@TheWayWithKhuwayne I would put Ingebrigsten and Mondo over Tebogo in terms of who deserves WAOTY, but putting Holloway above him is debateable, although not necessarily wrong. The issue for any athletes who only specialise in one event (e.g. Mondo - or maybe not, since he's a decent 100m runner too! - and Holloway) is that they have less opportunities to win medals and break records. For example, Holloway won indoors and broke the WIR, as well as the Olympics, yet many would still favour someone like Tebogo over him simply because Tebogo runs (and runs well) in multiple events including the 100, 200, 300 and 400m (and 4x400m) - although only the 100, 200 and 4x400m at the Olympics. This also applies to Ingebrigsten who is at an advantage in that he runs well in the 1500, mile, 2 mile 3000 and 5000m (although only the 1500m and 5000m at the Olympics - obviously) meaning he has more opportunities to win medals and break records (e.g. his 7.17 3000m) than someone like Duplantis who, despite being probably the most dominant athlete in his respective event in comparison to others, 'only' has 1 medal from the Olympicsand will only ever have one medal per Olympics. If you're going off of dominance and records for WAOTY, then you have to go Mondo, but if you're going off of dominance, records AND medals, then maybe you'd go Tebogo. At the end of the day, WAOTY is fully subjective and since it's a fan vote, it's largely a popularity contest. I voted Tebogo over the others because of personal bias, and that will have had a large role in who wins it for both men and women.
Very interesting video once again. The billing of the 100m has predominantly be the driving force of the track and field sport. Meaning more money, more attention, more recognition, more catering for the 100m best aka the World's fastest woman/man. So Noah isn't wrong, as you stated in the video at one point, the Diamond League considered removing the 200m from their timetable in 2019. Plus the Olympics has been one of few occasions where the 100m is one of the most anticipated events across all the Olympic sports which why Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Linford Christie, Jesse Owens and many others have had a certain reputation following their Olympic Gold victory in the 100m. He might be downplaying the event but I don't think he's been disrespectful. Rather I believe he's being honest of the reality of success & recognition you get as a 100m sprinter vs a 200m sprinter when it's all set and done. Look at Grant Holloway for example, he's acknowledged many times how he isn't getting as much attention or recognition as a 110m Hurdler despite his accolades year in and year out. Even his inclusion in the 4x100m relays for Team USA have been shut out. So certain events aren't going to be pushed or highlighted in the same way as the 100m. That is the reality of the sport. And even now field events are becoming more and more excluded with these new projects and competitions coming up including Grand Slam Track and World Ultimate Championships. Meanwhile many of the track events including the 100m, remain untouched and are heavily promoted to fit this bill that athletics has promoted for decades and decades. With Noah's comment in regards to athlete of the year/Mondo, Noah is going to promote Noah and push to get all the accolades and achievements he can before he retires. Breaking a 25+ year old National Record (which was also a former world record) alongside winning your 2nd World Championships is commendable. But of course breaking WRs is another level all together. So whilst his comment is naive, it's just another example of athletes pushing to get their name out there at any opportunity in a sport that tends to sabotage itself at times in various ways. Whilst I understand and agree with many of your comments including the downplaying of the 200m, I also believe that some people in the community have made unwarranted comments about Noah and trying to shut down virtually any opinion he has because of how outspoken and raw he is in his personality and presentation compared to other track athletes in the sport.
I don´t like the guy, but he is right. The 200 is double the distance and not half as important. The 100m is the race that the world stops to watch at the Olympics. Only track fans care about the 200.
Breaking an American record and being salty over NOT being crowned athlete of the year, vs the athlete who broke WORLD RECORDS is a wild amount of cope. Duplantis is a better polevaulter than Noah is a sprinter. Its not even close.
@@shayburton4104 no its not. Tebogo winning was also bs. Unless for some reason they value the fact that an athlete scored an u expected win over other accomplishments. But then that would be bs. Noah shouldnt have won in 2022 and Tebogo shouldnt have won this year. EDIT: on the other hand, Tebogo does have an actual WR, so maybe they just value that over everything else? It is more impressive than an American record.
Whe Noah says 'Nobody cares about the 200' - the 'Nobody' he refers to is us hardcore track and field fans - simply because we're not the ones making him rich we are nobody. I understand that Noah says a lot of things for shock value but he will need to stand by whatever he says.
Kenny walked away with the diamond league trophy at the end of the season. What happened during the relay was a costly mistake but I'm sure he will have an insane comeback.
One thing to mention that I commented under a different video/post on this topic, is that Lyles using the example of him losing World Athlete Of The Year to Duplantis in 2022 as a reason for why people don't care about the 200m also isn't valid for other reasons than you mentioned. This year he's the Olympic *100m* Champion, and Tebogo - the Olympic *200m* Champion - won World Athlete Of The Year ahead of Lyles and others. Obviously people will pay more attention to an Olympic 200m Gold than to a World Championship Gold, but it goes to show that you can win the 100m Olympic Gold and still not even be voted as Male Track Athlete Of The Year, let alone World Athlete Of The Year!
@@Cgytfghjj My guy, I wasn't saying that Tebogo even deserved the award any more than Lyles this year. My point, which you clearly failed to see, is that Lyles' statement about how 'nobody cares about the 200... because Mondo beat me to it in 2022 when I ran the American Record over 200m' is literally 'a whole lot of nothing', as you like to put it. I was simply saying that Tebogo DID win the WAOTY despite winning the 200m and not the 100m, which is what Lyles claimed was the reason he lost to Mondo in 2022. Jesus man..
I was a big Noah fan. I always thought he was working on the 60m and 100m to help with his plan to get to 18.99 for the 200m. I think he now cares more about fan and money and what he talks about with legacy and transcending the sport. He is allowed to do what he wants but he hasn’t realised that the others have caught up. He will not win any golds at the worlds this year
@@Ausbider Correction, you don't think he will win any Golds at the Worlds next year. He still has maintained his form and has performed greatly to make the podium the last two years in the 100m and the past 4 championships in the 200m. It's too early in my opinion to write off Noah considering how much he's improved and how much of a championship performer he is. Just because his goals may have changed doesn't mean he isn't still working on getting better as an athlete. I definitely believe everyone should wait until the season starts and see how everyone progresses because that will be the tale of the tape to who actually is prepared and who isn't.
@@Sportsbikeguy Yes! His finishing 20m seems to be the more overwhelming strength compared to his starts. Though even if he improved that, I think his 200m would probably still be even faster.
This is why track and field is not growing because you tracks stars talking about a specific event . You will not year a basketball player talk bad about 3 point throw. Noah need to shut up
The 200 is my favourite event forever....Noah lyles again with his big mouth. I love him as a great athlete but that mouth will get him in big trouble. he is single handedly destroying the sport by saying that she, should have kept it to himself. The youths needs encouragement descouragemet and they are listening
He did not lie. Now all of a sudden world records matter right 😂😂😂 is that why Mondo lost to Tebogo when Mondo broke the world record 3 times this year.
Lyles has talent but is not likable. He got beat by Tebogo in the 200 and saw Tebogo’s splits in the 400 relays. Noah was trash talking about being invincible in the 200 and knows that Tebogo is coming. He downplays the 200 as a result. And feeling entitled to the award Mondo won is another sign of his overblown ego.
Lol jus cos he lost 😂😂😂 Man had won over 40 races in the 200m and claimed that he was going to break the 200m record. Tebogo won the Male Athlete of the years and had won the Gold in the 200m,Noah is trash
Trash? You mean ur name is synonymous with trash because last I check Noah is a millionaire, who’s won countless titles and whose life is in an upward trajectory.. you on the other hand is relegated to hate him from the sideline.
The 100m is the ABSOLUTE CROWN JEWEL of track and field!!...Unlike most fans, Noah is looking at track like its business, which it is...... Most of the money, fame, shoe contracts, endorsements etc. come from the 100m
Did you watch the original interview? Did you hear him be dismissive of any athlete? He is simply focused on where he is winning.Many fans dwell on his loss while he rightly highlights his win. That is a strategic business mind.
His first global title was in 2016 in the 100 at U20s let's stop acting like bro started running the 100 yesterday. And it's not that ppl don't care about him winning the 100 and 200... ppl don't care and don't like him he just has to keep dealing with it and keep winning and get his bread
We cared about the 200 when Usain Bolt and Florence Griffin- Joyner were running. Both of them were primarily 200 m runners before they dominated the 100. It’s really depends on the athlete and the excitement they bring to the event. I think it’s kind of ignorant and selfish to think that one person can define the event.
Only America thinks noah is the fastest man. Kishane thompson is the fastest man this year and usuain bolt is the fastest man alive. Noah is only an Olympic champion and world champion. That's it
Probably makes more money winning 100m title. The 100m is the blue print event. It gets more attention than the 200m. However, Micheal Johnson did get alot of recognition for breaking the 200m world record in the 200m at the 1996 Olympics, at the same time Michael Johnson wasn't considered the fastest man in the world by just been the world record holder over 200m. But, very ironic that the 200m Olympic title is the only title Noah never won. The 200m was his signature event its the event he won his first title in too.
As an avid track and field fan I really wanna like Noah but it’s so obvious he only says the 200m doesn’t matter because he didn’t win… and don’t even get me started on the Mondo comment. Go break the 100m record multiple times then we can talk 😅
Noah Lyles has already achieved the fastest he will ever run. Unless he improves the first 40 meters of the 100-meter dash, his time will never improve
No one cared much for the 400m hurdles either until Sydney, Karsten, Rai, and Alison made them care. People do care about the 200 - they just don’t care for someone to keep claiming he can go 19.10 where optics say 19.31 is his ceiling.
Huh...he is only saying the because he is starting to lose in the 200m ...lets b fair the 100m is getting more stacked nxt yr Tebogo already said he wants that 100m gold in an interview in rome Kishane and Seville said they wants it too Fred said he wants his title back...😂
He's said similar things before the actual Olympics, and he's not the only athlete to say it. The 100m has always been, and will always probably be, the premiere sprint event. Not sure what the controversy is.
Tbh he’s not the only one who said this I’ve seen other athletes say the 100m is the more popular event. It’s only getting talked about because it’s Noah
Letsile Tebogo won Best Male at the Olympics after he won the 200m. BEST MALE ATHLETE IN ALL THE SPORTS, in Paris. so the 200m does matter. Maybe not at WC but definitely at the Olympics.
It shows his lack of awareness when he talks as if he was robbed by Duplantis for AOTY! their achievements that year were not comparable!! I wonder if he'd won 3 titles and broke 3 world records if the award had gone to another athlete who had broken the American record if he would feel the same way!?
200m matters and people care; it just doesn’t hold as much weight as the 100m. It’s always been that way. I think the 200m is getting more competitive….
Lyles' best chance for a WR is in the 200m. He won't dominate the 100m like he did the 200m, and he got his fame from dominating the 200m. He might be misguided here...
Not wrong. Having done track, who is the fastest man right now? Still Usain Bolt in the 100. His 200m was broken and Micheal Johnson 200 and 400m broken? Just 400m, 200 is still Usain. So if you are fast in the 200 and not the 100. Are you still the fastest or just fast.. Usain and Johnson held 2 events. Now only Bolt. They go off the older people not being able to break it again ummmm it is a record for a reason.
Hmm.. this is an interesting point because the world record holders in the 100/200 are the same people, Bolt and Flo-Jo. However, if someone breaks their 200m records, but not the 100m, would Bolt and Flo-jo still be considered the fastest Man(Woman) in history? The titles of "fastest alive" or "in the world" usually come with the 100m event and really doesn't take the 200m into consideration unless there is a double champion (Flo-Jo, Bolt, Elaine, etc.)
When you guys STOP STROKING HIS OVER INFLATED EGO.maybe then he would learn to respect the sport, which gave him the fame the fame he so desperately craves. GROW UP NOAH, stop behaving like a petulant child. You may never win another major title at any distance !!
To understand Lyles' declarations, one has to be acquainted with the main traits of narcissistic personality disorder. Viewed from this perspective, they make perfect sense.
Narcissism is borne out of trauma, so if Noah is a narcissist he must have been raised in a traumatic environment that allowed him to display the characteristics listed in the DSM V..You sir, that’s diagnosing him should be extending empathy.. the main characteristic that’s lacking in a narcissist.
@@Cgytfghjj You misconstrue my comments. No hate here. E.g., I think that Lyles is a very intelligent Athlete, and I much enjoy watching his videos, especially his comments on his training process and the interaction between him and his great coach.
@trogpo you ain't lying about Noah displaying narcissist traits almost every interview if you are someone familiar or educated on these people you are going to see it on full display every single interview even the ones where he pretends to be a nice person.
Listen Noah Lyles is not the fastest man in the worrld when u tied with 2nd place on 9.79. NL's. might be competative or likeable but he got no chrisma: Even speaking on tthiis interview just listen how he respond to other athletes achievements: Noah is such a attention seeker: Noah puts his own feet in his mouth becuz he said before that when he came off curb the other athletes would be depressed but he was devastaed demolished in the 200m. Noah is sounding like he is filled up with hate and resentment: He cannot bbe happy for nobody else but Noah: Now! that is sick: He did not win the 100m Gold: Politriix & greedy Investors,snatched it from KT and gave it to Noah: the world saw it:❤😮😢
I followed you for the first few sentences then I realize you’re another irrational hater consumed with envy.. Noah is the main character so who he’s going to hate on when everyone wants to dethrone him?! Speak with logic and sense..KT did not win.. there was no conspiracy..just congratulate the man and hope your guy wins next time!
Nothing against Kishane because he seems nice and is a good athlete. That being said there us way too much hype around him. He never competes. He couldn't even help his team get into the 4x100. He is a talented guy that won silver. If he competed more he would have leaned to win gold.
Only America thinks noah is the fastest man. Kishane thompson is the fastest man this year and usuain bolt is the fastest man alive. Noah is only an Olympic champion and world champion. That's it
Until KT has won an international event no one cares about his fast time in Jamaica.. Bolt on the other hand is the GOAT .. but yes, Noah is allowed bragging rights because he won World and Olympic 100m
Kishane never competes. His first big competition was the Olympics and he did well enough to win silver. FM title goes to the gold medalist, Noah. Only a Olympic champion and world champion, two things Kishane isn't. Bolt is another level from everyone else.
I mean it's always been like that, this is why the 100m has always been the blue ribbon event of Track And Field and the Olympic games.
Say this louder for the people in the back. This isn't a revelation.

@@tyeguy5373 Even if that were true, WTF does any of that have to do with what's being said? Even in the Olympics, the 100m finals for both men and women had more buzz and prestige around it. You're talking about something else.
He ain't lying. Track fans and casual fans only glaze at the 100m dash. They did a whole big intro with lights and everything at the Olympics for the finals. They should have done the same thing for the 200m and 400m finals. The 100m is "considered" the fastest man or woman alive race. No other race gets attention like this. Noah's personality whether you like or hate it is what got him attention in the first place while winning. It was until he started winning in the 100m race that his fame took off like a rocket. You can say the same for Bolt. The man ran solid 400m races but it wasn't until he dropped down to the 100m and 200m races (along with breaking records in 2008) that we soared on a global scale.
Just treat all the races the same and people might start to respect all the races as equal.

I care about the 200. And I don't think I'm the only one who does that.
"No one cares about the 200m" and yet the 2024 Men's track athlete of the year is Letsile Tebogo the Olympic 200m champion... I wonder if Noah's sentiments would be the same if he had won the 200m gold in paris ..Micheal Johnson was a 200/400 sprinter and yet he is still popular than a lot of 100m sprinters
he was the 400m goat tho
I doubt his sentiments would have been the same had he won the 200m and maybe lost on 100
Tebogo did more than just win the 200m. He got wr 300m. 4x100 and 4x400 with the fastest split.
@@michellerowe-smith5803 True, but he didn't win the 100m, so this just shows that Lyles doesn't really know what he's talking about.
@michellerowe-smith5803 He also set a new Area record in 200m
That might be too broad a statement, but Noah might be a little more invested because he loves the 200 meters so much and it doesn't get the love he'd like. Plus he was answering a very specific question about which he'd rather get a gold medal for in 2025 : 100m v 200m. The 100 is the premier event, hence the moniker, "World's fastest man or woman" is for running that distance. I don't think it's only because the 100 is so fast, because many love the hurdles (100, 110, 400) and the 400 m flat also. It's just the 200 is a sort of in-between distance. It's like an accessory to the 100m almost
While he is right that the 200m doesn't get the same attention and I agree that 100m gold seems more valuable for him at this point in his career, his comments just sound bitter here. A year ago he was saying the 200m is his "wife", and he has no competition in the event. Now, only after losing in the Olympics, his opinion on the 200m has magically changed. "Nobody really cares about the 200m anyways" just feels like he's coping for his loss. Additionally, his comment regarding losing the athlete of the year to Mondo also just seems to be in bad taste. "I broke the American record, and they still didn't give me the award"... Noah broke the American record by 0.01 seconds, and Mondo broke the WORLD record three times. Noah both seems to be discrediting Mondo, and generally just sounds unduly salty for losing an award that was never his to begin with.
As Noah should be because the same rule about Mondo breaking the record went out the window this year because Tebogo won, right?
I mean he's right..he knows he's living it..✊🏾☮️
In Noah defense, Fred said the same thing about the 100 vs 400
It's funny he says that, because when he got bronze in the 200m at the Paris Olympics, all of the casuals and haters completely forgot that he won gold in the 100m and clowned him for getting beat in the 200m.
They may have clowned him but he got more money and endorsements.. we literally haven’t lost a 200 m in 3 years. No one is talking about that!
well thats cause people only watched thw 200m to see Noah lose
@@michellerowe-smith5803bro really said we
This isn't true. Yes haters clowned him for the 200m but they would've anyway. Casuals who watched him win gold didn't forget. Just because haters are louder doesn't make it true.
Noah is only saying the 200m does not matter because he did not win it in Paris. Its agreed that the 100m is the blue ribbon event which brings the attention.
Exactly
He ain’t lying 😂
Noah is allowed to pivot and re-write his story, allow him the grace and space to do so.

Noah believe the world revolve around him and he bearly crack 9.7 and he shears that time with Kishane Thompson.
He need to run faster which is going to be difficult to dominate next season..
@ No one cares who he shares the time with, he won the Olympic gold medal. Close mouths don’t get fed.. and with Noah wanting to transcend the sport he has to take up space and get loud to be noticed.

Nah, I've been supporting Noah for years arguing with people about how he brings eyes to the sport. Though the 200 is important because he made it important. He lost to Tobogo while he had Covid and now the 200 his, "wife" is a race no one cares about? I care and always been a 200 fan. Maybe because that was my better race vs my 100.
"I can't be the face of athletics, because I'm not an arrogant or a loud person like Noah." - Letsile Tebogo! 😎
How can Tebogo be the face of anything when he hasn’t proven himself yet.. his statement is dripping in arrogance and entitlement
Tebogo is arrogant asf, he just doesn't talk like Noah does. His celebrations are crazy. Recall the U20 100m final where Tebogo turned and pointed to second place for the last 30m
Tebogo is just as arrogant as Noah 😂😂 he just doesn’t talk as much so people think he’s not
@@lucifertheman1that was classic. Wish he had trolled Lyles at the olympics
Wasn't he just complaining about being called arrogant himself? Both are arrogant but they have the talent to back it up so it's cool.
Noah didn’t lie 😂. The people who are upset are reacting to the facts. During the 100m Olympic final, there were lights all over the track, fans were lighting up the stadium, and suspenseful music was playing. That’s because the 100m is one of the most popular events in track and field. Whether or not you like Noah’s personality, it’s clear the 200m has never received the same level of attention. Tebogo gained recognition because he beat track’s biggest showboat-Noah, the reigning three-time world champion from the previous year.
Yes! DeGrass did not receive this much attention after winning the 200m Olympic title because Noah by then was not big in the sport per 100m accolades.
He's literally one of the best 200m runners of all time. He's right. It's fun for us to watch, but to the average joe, the 100m dash is the main event.
No one cares = I lost to Tebogo = Sour grapes 🍇
💯 had Lyles beaten Tebogo for gold he would've twerked it up as the 100-200 champ
Sour grapes 🍇
Noah can’t win. Every interview he does, a soundbite will always go viral-it’s almost inevitable, lol. I watched the whole interview, and honestly, I’m not mad at it. I knew it would stir the pot. Noah is Noah; that’s his experience. Tebogo winning Athlete of the Year kind of negates that point, but again, it’s his opinion, given in response to a specific question, and it reflects his own perspective. That’s just where I stand. I still don’t get whose opinion he’s really swaying, though, especially since he gets so much hate.
@@browninTT But he shouldn't have won athlete of the year, he had a worse season than both Mondo and even Holloway so I don't think it negates his point at all. I don't know if they changed the way it is determined because there's no way a committee of people who actually know about track chose Tebogo over both of those athletes, they legit had perfect seasons.
The thing is that Tebogo 2024 years was worse than Noah 2022 when he lost... so him winning is kinda weird....Mondo went undefeated this years and broke 3 WR
@@Rayan2track That’s why I added, “but again, it’s his opinion, given in response to a specific question, and it reflects his own perspective.”
Like you, I asked the same question. Just yesterday, someone with no real interest in Track and Field said they wanted Julien Alfred to win Female Track Athlete of the Year, and I replied, “Nah, not against Sydney, who was basically unopposed all year, breaking records left and right. She earned it.” But then they asked, “So how did Tebogo win?” and I’m like, “Okay, you got me there, lol.” Outside of the 300m record, someone with more knowledge could probably explain the nuances better.
I don’t want to say it’s a definite “rub it in” for Noah-does that make sense?-but I’ve been sensing that vibe. Just imagine the conversations happening behind closed doors, especially after hearing Kenny’s mom tell him, after he won silver, “You didn’t get the gold, but you beat, you know who.”
Beating Noah seems to be the goal. But I digress.
@@browninTTbeating Noah has become the ultimate goal. You beat Noah, you get rewarded.
That comes with the turf of being the face of the sport. Anything he says will always be quoted and critiqued.
He wouldn't be saying this if he won gold in the 200 instead of the 100.
I've only watched the first 1.34 minutes. This is why people take issues with Noah. He has always said he preferes the 200m and it's his baby. Now that he lost the 200m, he is saying he would take the 100m over the 200m.
I'm an avid track guy and the 200m is my favorite event.
What Noah said about Bolt in 2017 running the 100m shows that he needs to be more informed as an athlete. Bolt only ran the 100m in 2017 because it's much easier to train for and his season was condensed. He literally cruised that season and had decided he would only run one event because of the ease of training for the 100 vs the 200. Running the 200 would require him to do 400m training which he dint want to do.
Like i said, i haven't finish the video but we have to be careful of putting out these ideas about nobody cares about a particular event. If people look at track experts, athletes and abalysts, and they are saying an event is not releveant, then that event becomes deminished in the eyes of casual fans. There is already narrative out there now regarding field events.
One reason i always respected Bolt is that he consistently said his favorite event and the one he cares the most about is the 200m. It wasn't about the hype, he stayed true to himself.
Word!
That is just disingenuous, it's the same reason as why we saw Fred Kerley going down to the 100m, the 100m is just way bigger and it's a fact. The 200m may be Lyles' favorite event but as Kerley said about the 400m (that is kinda in the same realm of popularity) "it doesn't pay shit" 😂. If you ask that question to any sprinter they're most likely going to answer the 100m because there's no reason not to, it's more popular in the track community and especially for non track fans, you'd get more money from appearances fees and endorsements and possibly cash prizes. Except if you're already an household name in the 100m with multiple golds there's NO WAY you're choosing the 200m gold.
@@Rayan2track You are right, but this doesn't contradict Jarro21's comment.
@@trogpo That's actually true, I didn't see the end of his comment! It is indeed of bad look to down play the 200m like that, I said something similar in a comment of mine
He didn’t disparage the 200 as his baby. He’s acknowledging what the market values and he’s being honest. Fans can recite 100m Olympic gold medalists back to Jesse Owens and Bob Hayes. Most of those same fans can’t name a 200 winner without doing the double.
What Noah lyles just said is right . Nobody cares about the 200m. Usain bolt is still widely considered the fastest human of all time because of the 100m event, not because of the 200m event. Everybody should know that by now. Yohan blake may have run faster than Usain bolt over 200m distance. But when it comes to ghe 100m, he is still 0.11 seconds away from Lightning Bolt ⚡️😤👌🏾.
I mostly agree with what you said, it is a bit hypocritical to down play the 200m now that he's gotten better in the 100m even though there's a lot of truth to his comment. But about the Athlete of the year comment (idk when the video was recorded) this is such a terrible timing because Tebogo won it despite Mondo having without a doubt a better season. I don't really see how you can win over Mondo as a sprinter without breaking a major record (300m not being held in major championships) and winning only 1 individual medal the WHOLE year.
Mondo lost to Tebogo although Mondo had a stellar season similar to the one he had when Noah lost to him.. These commentaries are disingenuous at best.. I see the attempt at trying to be impartial but that bias against Noah always seeps through.
@@Cgytfghjj Exactly where I'm getting at, but to be honest maybe he recorded the video before the announcement of the results for athlete of the year (And Imo Holloway should've won Track athlete of the year, but that's another debate)
@@Rayan2trackI’m glad he recorded prior to the realization of Tebogo winning because it highlights the hate that Noah receives even from those who pretend to be giving constructive feedback.. I’m sure the justification for why Tebogo won against Mondo will be packaged and wrapped in a bow for all to enjoy.
@@Rayan2track Noah is referring to the season in which he broke the 200m American record, not to the last season. But his exaggerated subjectivity is manifest here too, as it appears that he truly believes that breaking the American record is more worthy of the prize than breaking several times the world record in the pole vault.
@@trogpo the World Athletics Committee thinks so hence Tebogo is the winner.
The 100m, the 200m dash, or any number of other events, are made popular when won by athletes who know how to attract attention and stir interest. The personalities in question must be somewhat more important than the event itself, and winning isn’t always the most important thing. Noah Lyles fits the bill, as do Gabby Thomas, ShaCarri Richardson, Mondo, Syd, Tara, Athing Mu, Masai Russell, and even Fred Kerley with that baleful look on his face. These athletes also are skillful at drawing the attention of people who want to see them lose.
It’s the personality that makes the event memorable
I don't think any of the athletes you named other than Noah Lyles actually bring attention to the sport. Noah actively tries to bring attention to himself by saying crazy stuff like "World Champions of What" and collaborating with content creators outside of track and field like MrBeast and Speed. Most non track fans have no clue who Athing Mu or Masai Russell are
Mondo won because he broke the world Record.
Tebogo is more popular after the 200m Olympic medal so if he wants to concentrate on the 100 where I feel he is about hit his ceiling, he will be giving u on silverware, Kishane, Seville, Tebogo, Fred will braii him in 2025
Noah is simply lying, Tebogo has become a very popular figure and won athlete of the year despite him winning the 200
Whilst Tebogo is a popular figure, based on his season, I wouldn't personally have him for World Athlete or World Track Athlete of the Year over Mondo and even Grant.
@@TheWayWithKhuwayne I would put Ingebrigsten and Mondo over Tebogo in terms of who deserves WAOTY, but putting Holloway above him is debateable, although not necessarily wrong. The issue for any athletes who only specialise in one event (e.g. Mondo - or maybe not, since he's a decent 100m runner too! - and Holloway) is that they have less opportunities to win medals and break records. For example, Holloway won indoors and broke the WIR, as well as the Olympics, yet many would still favour someone like Tebogo over him simply because Tebogo runs (and runs well) in multiple events including the 100, 200, 300 and 400m (and 4x400m) - although only the 100, 200 and 4x400m at the Olympics. This also applies to Ingebrigsten who is at an advantage in that he runs well in the 1500, mile, 2 mile 3000 and 5000m (although only the 1500m and 5000m at the Olympics - obviously) meaning he has more opportunities to win medals and break records (e.g. his 7.17 3000m) than someone like Duplantis who, despite being probably the most dominant athlete in his respective event in comparison to others, 'only' has 1 medal from the Olympicsand will only ever have one medal per Olympics. If you're going off of dominance and records for WAOTY, then you have to go Mondo, but if you're going off of dominance, records AND medals, then maybe you'd go Tebogo. At the end of the day, WAOTY is fully subjective and since it's a fan vote, it's largely a popularity contest. I voted Tebogo over the others because of personal bias, and that will have had a large role in who wins it for both men and women.
Very interesting video once again. The billing of the 100m has predominantly be the driving force of the track and field sport. Meaning more money, more attention, more recognition, more catering for the 100m best aka the World's fastest woman/man.
So Noah isn't wrong, as you stated in the video at one point, the Diamond League considered removing the 200m from their timetable in 2019. Plus the Olympics has been one of few occasions where the 100m is one of the most anticipated events across all the Olympic sports which why Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Linford Christie, Jesse Owens and many others have had a certain reputation following their Olympic Gold victory in the 100m. He might be downplaying the event but I don't think he's been disrespectful. Rather I believe he's being honest of the reality of success & recognition you get as a 100m sprinter vs a 200m sprinter when it's all set and done.
Look at Grant Holloway for example, he's acknowledged many times how he isn't getting as much attention or recognition as a 110m Hurdler despite his accolades year in and year out. Even his inclusion in the 4x100m relays for Team USA have been shut out. So certain events aren't going to be pushed or highlighted in the same way as the 100m. That is the reality of the sport. And even now field events are becoming more and more excluded with these new projects and competitions coming up including Grand Slam Track and World Ultimate Championships. Meanwhile many of the track events including the 100m, remain untouched and are heavily promoted to fit this bill that athletics has promoted for decades and decades.
With Noah's comment in regards to athlete of the year/Mondo, Noah is going to promote Noah and push to get all the accolades and achievements he can before he retires. Breaking a 25+ year old National Record (which was also a former world record) alongside winning your 2nd World Championships is commendable. But of course breaking WRs is another level all together. So whilst his comment is naive, it's just another example of athletes pushing to get their name out there at any opportunity in a sport that tends to sabotage itself at times in various ways.
Whilst I understand and agree with many of your comments including the downplaying of the 200m, I also believe that some people in the community have made unwarranted comments about Noah and trying to shut down virtually any opinion he has because of how outspoken and raw he is in his personality and presentation compared to other track athletes in the sport.
I don´t like the guy, but he is right. The 200 is double the distance and not half as important. The 100m is the race that the world stops to watch at the Olympics. Only track fans care about the 200.
Breaking an American record and being salty over NOT being crowned athlete of the year, vs the athlete who broke WORLD RECORDS is a wild amount of cope. Duplantis is a better polevaulter than Noah is a sprinter. Its not even close.

Whe Noah says 'Nobody cares about the 200' - the 'Nobody' he refers to is us hardcore track and field fans - simply because we're not the ones making him rich we are nobody. I understand that Noah says a lot of things for shock value but he will need to stand by whatever he says.

One thing to mention that I commented under a different video/post on this topic, is that Lyles using the example of him losing World Athlete Of The Year to Duplantis in 2022 as a reason for why people don't care about the 200m also isn't valid for other reasons than you mentioned. This year he's the Olympic *100m* Champion, and Tebogo - the Olympic *200m* Champion - won World Athlete Of The Year ahead of Lyles and others. Obviously people will pay more attention to an Olympic 200m Gold than to a World Championship Gold, but it goes to show that you can win the 100m Olympic Gold and still not even be voted as Male Track Athlete Of The Year, let alone World Athlete Of The Year!

@@Cgytfghjj My guy, I wasn't saying that Tebogo even deserved the award any more than Lyles this year.

I was simply saying that Tebogo DID win the WAOTY despite winning the 200m and not the 100m, which is what Lyles claimed was the reason he lost to Mondo in 2022. Jesus man..
I was a big Noah fan. I always thought he was working on the 60m and 100m to help with his plan to get to 18.99 for the 200m. I think he now cares more about fan and money and what he talks about with legacy and transcending the sport. He is allowed to do what he wants but he hasn’t realised that the others have caught up.

It's too early in my opinion to write off Noah considering how much he's improved and how much of a championship performer he is. Just because his goals may have changed doesn't mean he isn't still working on getting better as an athlete.
I definitely believe everyone should wait until the season starts and see how everyone progresses because that will be the tale of the tape to who actually is prepared and who isn't.

The 200 is definitely not as prestigious as the 100. The 200 without the one is not the same.
Lyles has talent but is not likable. He got beat by Tebogo in the 200 and saw Tebogo’s splits in the 400 relays.

His first global title was in 2016 in the 100 at U20s let's stop acting like bro started running the 100 yesterday. And it's not that ppl don't care about him winning the 100 and 200... ppl don't care and don't like him he just has to keep dealing with it and keep winning and get his bread
We cared about the 200 when Usain Bolt and Florence Griffin- Joyner were running. Both of them were primarily 200 m runners before they dominated the 100. It’s really depends on the athlete and the excitement they bring to the event. I think it’s kind of ignorant and selfish to think that one person can define the event.
Only America thinks noah is the fastest man. Kishane thompson is the fastest man this year and usuain bolt is the fastest man alive. Noah is only an Olympic champion and world champion. That's it
EXACTLY!!!
Probably makes more money winning 100m title. The 100m is the blue print event. It gets more attention than the 200m. However, Micheal Johnson did get alot of recognition for breaking the 200m world record in the 200m at the 1996 Olympics, at the same time Michael Johnson wasn't considered the fastest man in the world by just been the world record holder over 200m. But, very ironic that the 200m Olympic title is the only title Noah never won. The 200m was his signature event its the event he won his first title in too.
The crazy part is that Tebogo beat Duplantis for athlete of the yr for winning the 200m 😂
As an avid track and field fan I really wanna like Noah but it’s so obvious he only says the 200m doesn’t matter because he didn’t win… and don’t even get me started on the Mondo comment. Go break the 100m record multiple times then we can talk 😅
You’re taking it literal. He doesn’t mean they don’t care at all. Hes just saying it’s not seen in the same light like the 100 and he’s not wrong
Noah Lyles has already achieved the fastest he will ever run. Unless he improves the first 40 meters of the 100-meter dash, his time will never improve
No one cared much for the 400m hurdles either until Sydney, Karsten, Rai, and Alison made them care. People do care about the 200 - they just don’t care for someone to keep claiming he can go 19.10 where optics say 19.31 is his ceiling.
Thank you for this comment.. an event is only as popular and interesting as the competitors in the event make it to be ..
Huh...he is only saying the because he is starting to lose in the 200m ...lets b fair the 100m is getting more stacked nxt yr
Tebogo already said he wants that 100m gold in an interview in rome
Kishane and Seville said they wants it too
Fred said he wants his title back...😂
He’s lost once!
He's said similar things before the actual Olympics, and he's not the only athlete to say it. The 100m has always been, and will always probably be, the premiere sprint event. Not sure what the controversy is.
Tbh he’s not the only one who said this I’ve seen other athletes say the 100m is the more popular event. It’s only getting talked about because it’s Noah
Letsile Tebogo won Best Male at the Olympics after he won the 200m. BEST MALE ATHLETE IN ALL THE SPORTS, in Paris. so the 200m does matter. Maybe not at WC but definitely at the Olympics.
It shows his lack of awareness when he talks as if he was robbed by Duplantis for AOTY! their achievements that year were not comparable!! I wonder if he'd won 3 titles and broke 3 world records if the award had gone to another athlete who had broken the American record if he would feel the same way!?
everybody knows 9.58 but only trackfans know 19.19
200m matters and people care; it just doesn’t hold as much weight as the 100m. It’s always been that way. I think the 200m is getting more competitive….
Lyles' best chance for a WR is in the 200m.
He won't dominate the 100m like he did the 200m, and he got his fame from dominating the 200m.
He might be misguided here...
Usain Bolt would not beat him now he is 39 now. Even if he was working out like he used to.
Blake being forgotten all the time
He's right. Like it or not
Not wrong. Having done track, who is the fastest man right now? Still Usain Bolt in the 100. His 200m was broken and Micheal Johnson 200 and 400m broken? Just 400m, 200 is still Usain. So if you are fast in the 200 and not the 100. Are you still the fastest or just fast.. Usain and Johnson held 2 events. Now only Bolt. They go off the older people not being able to break it again ummmm it is a record for a reason.
Hmm.. this is an interesting point because the world record holders in the 100/200 are the same people, Bolt and Flo-Jo. However, if someone breaks their 200m records, but not the 100m, would Bolt and Flo-jo still be considered the fastest Man(Woman) in history? The titles of "fastest alive" or "in the world" usually come with the 100m event and really doesn't take the 200m into consideration unless there is a double champion (Flo-Jo, Bolt, Elaine, etc.)
he only saying that because he lost the 200 in the olympics
it's the best event imo
Great video!
Hot take: Noah likes the 100 because of the attention he gets 😅
I heard no lies! No shade
Not entirely healthy in the final, and inexperienced. Let's see what happens in 2024. Won't be boring.
When you guys STOP STROKING HIS OVER INFLATED EGO.maybe then he would learn to respect the sport, which gave him the fame the fame he so desperately craves. GROW UP NOAH, stop behaving like a petulant child. You may never win another major title at any distance !!
Funny that people cared and looked forward to the 2024 200m final than the 100m.Bitter guy
They only looked forward to it because Noah was running otherwise no one cared
He only saying that because he got rolled 😂
hes said stuff like this about the 200 before Olympics
Oop clock it!!
To understand Lyles' declarations, one has to be acquainted with the main traits of narcissistic personality disorder. Viewed from this perspective, they make perfect sense.
Narcissism is borne out of trauma, so if Noah is a narcissist he must have been raised in a traumatic environment that allowed him to display the characteristics listed in the DSM V..You sir, that’s diagnosing him should be extending empathy.. the main characteristic that’s lacking in a narcissist.
@@Cgytfghjj While narcissists generally lack empathy, persons who are not narcissists don't have empathy to every creature and all day long.
@@trogpohe’s not a creature, he’s Noah Lyles! Don’t let that hate consume you, sir.
@@Cgytfghjj You misconstrue my comments. No hate here. E.g., I think that Lyles is a very intelligent Athlete, and I much enjoy watching his videos, especially his comments on his training process and the interaction between him and his great coach.
@trogpo you ain't lying about Noah displaying narcissist traits almost every interview if you are someone familiar or educated on these people you are going to see it on full display every single interview even the ones where he pretends to be a nice person.
Listen Noah Lyles is not the fastest man in the worrld when u tied with 2nd place on 9.79. NL's. might be competative or likeable but he got no chrisma: Even speaking on tthiis interview just listen how he respond to other athletes achievements: Noah is such a attention seeker: Noah puts his own feet in his mouth becuz he said before that when he came off curb the other athletes would be depressed but he was devastaed demolished in the 200m. Noah is sounding like he is filled up with hate and resentment: He cannot bbe happy for nobody else but Noah: Now! that is sick: He did not win the 100m Gold: Politriix & greedy Investors,snatched it from KT and gave it to Noah: the world saw it:❤😮😢
Kishane literally lost, stop crying
Kishane lost, fair and square and I’m a Jamaican that wasn’t Noah’s main event. This amount of crying yall do a shame wi bad stop dis man
I followed you for the first few sentences then I realize you’re another irrational hater consumed with envy.. Noah is the main character so who he’s going to hate on when everyone wants to dethrone him?! Speak with logic and sense..KT did not win.. there was no conspiracy..just congratulate the man and hope your guy wins next time!
Nothing against Kishane because he seems nice and is a good athlete. That being said there us way too much hype around him. He never competes. He couldn't even help his team get into the 4x100.
He is a talented guy that won silver. If he competed more he would have leaned to win gold.
Only America thinks noah is the fastest man. Kishane thompson is the fastest man this year and usuain bolt is the fastest man alive. Noah is only an Olympic champion and world champion. That's it
Until KT has won an international event no one cares about his fast time in Jamaica.. Bolt on the other hand is the GOAT .. but yes, Noah is allowed bragging rights because he won World and Olympic 100m
Kishane never competes. His first big competition was the Olympics and he did well enough to win silver. FM title goes to the gold medalist, Noah.
Only a Olympic champion and world champion, two things Kishane isn't.
Bolt is another level from everyone else.
