RunBlogRun presents Interview with Noah Lyles (2025)
Once a year, I am fortunate to get a sit-down interview with a group of athletes from Global Athletics. Among the athletes I interviewed in November 2024 for the 2025 RBR Interviews were Noah Lyles, Rai Benjamin, Hobbs Kessler, Nico Young and Bryce Hoppel. This is the Noah Lyles interview, which is always a lot of fun.
In this interview, we spoke on Grand Slam Track, and his reluctance to sign up for the program due to its then lack of TV coverage, among other things.
We also spoke about the need for the sport to recognize that it needs to fuse performance and entertainment. Noah Lyles is very transparent with his fans, and that is one of the reasons, besides his amazing sprinting, that he is loved and adored.
We also spoke on the Paris Olympics, where he won the 100m, and took bronze in the 200 meters, while recovering from COVID-19. We also discussed if he should have done that second race.
Noah Lyles is the finest sprinter, 100m, and 200m in the world. He has extended his contract with sponsor, adidas until 2028. Noah contributes, with his brother and mother, to many programs and youth oriented activities.
I have observed this young man since he was sixteen. I must say that I continue to be impressed and am amazed, as I was in Budapest with his wins at 100m, 200m and the 4x100m. He is one of the Great Ones, and I believe, that we will see him through 2028.
Now, Enjoy the interview!
Special thanks to Matt McCarron and Mark Wetmore of Global Athletics, and as always, thanks to Noah Lyles for his enthusiasm and honesty. He is one of my favorite interviews each and every year!
