Darrell questioned, “We’re gonna talk **** behind me, so I know you guys wanna come up. We’re gonna talk about the other. What’s that, alright? 100 meters, we’ve conquered the US, but I know you said it today, and I know who you are. So, I know we got bigger fish to fry, bigger thoughts on the world. You’ve lost one race this year, one race at the Grand Prix to Oblique Seville. I got one question for you, alright? We go to Paris, which color medal will you bring?” This question highlighted the competitive atmosphere and the pressure on Lyles to perform at the highest level, especially against a formidable opponent like Seville.

Noah Lyles replied confidently, “It’s gold. They’re all gonna be gold. I’ll tell you why, though. I study my competitors. I knew that man was gonna be ready for that race. Don’t get me wrong, I was ready, but he was obviously more ready on that day. But I tell you what, there’s a difference from running in Jamaica to running at the Olympics. I’ve seen how you handle your rounds. I study my competitors. I know your weaknesses. I know what your strengths are. I’ll be ready. I’ll be ready.” Lyles’ response showcased his analytical approach to competition, his respect for his competitors, and his belief in his ability to secure victory on the world stage.
