Today, adidas athlete Noah Lyles cemented his name amongst sprinting’s greats, winning gold in the men’s 100m in Paris and taking the title of the world’s fastest man. The Florida native crossed the finish line in a personal best of 9.79 seconds, to claim one of the most iconic titles in track and field.
Speaking after his medal winning effort, Noah Lyles said: “The last three years have all been leading up to today. After Tokyo, I knew the journey heading into Paris was going to be tough. The pressure was always going to be bigger than in 2021. But I put in the work and trained harder than I ever had before. Being able to call myself the world’s fastest man, it’s a special feeling.”
Alberto Uncini Manganelli, General Manager Running & Credibility Sports at adidas, said: “With today’s win, and everything he has achieved in his career so far, Noah has cemented his greatness and place as one of the leading athletes in the world. We’re proud to have been able to support him on every step of his journey since our partnership began in 2016.”
