Noah Lyles throws down the gauntlet: predicts 19.10 and 9.65

Dude, don't get out much do ya? Long lines at the bank on a Monday, everybody getting paper money, some putting in paper money,

Rookies sheesh~~~~

Have you ever read up on Asberger Syndrome?

But more to the point, why are you so sure Lyles won’t break 19.40? He’s done it before and his last 200m race was promising.

*Asperger

Username actually tripped me up

There's like 30 banks in my small town and they all have a line on Mondays and Fridays.

9.65 for a world championship 100 is not fast, it's just not.

You’re getting trolled by some non literal snarky twenty-something and they don’t even have to try.

bro what kind of comparison is this?

"oh no, she didnt get 5 golds, she only got 3 + 2 bronze medals"

Gabby won't win gold obviously but still lol

people so mad in this thread over runners saying what their goal is

When Bolt ran 9.58, I thought he would go sub 19. Turns out he was better at the 100m. I think Lyles has a shot at the 200m world record. 9.65 is less likely, but why not go for it?

Usain Bokt getting the record and running 9.72 in early 2008 was a shock to me.

Fred Kerley getting an Olympic Silver in the 100 in 2021 and a WC Gold in 2022 after getting a 400m medal in 2019 was a shock to me.

Lyles going for 9.65 having a 19.31 200m PR isn’t out of the question considering that.

Don't forget that withdrawal we made from the sperm bank.

Really do need to get rid of these get in the way can't register trolls, why are they allowed to keep posting?

Register be responsible for your actions is the only way to do this,

When athletes talk this big, is it because they're already doing it in training or what?

Delusion can be found at all levels.

my guess is he is basing it on doing better workouts than he was during his previous PRs.

probably throwing down the gauntlet cause he had his nails done. Hard to wear a gauntlet over that.

He’s gotta be pretty confident with that kind of pre-race talk but as the old saying goes “Pay less attention to what a man says. Just watch what they do”.

Funny that he might, in the end, be closer to 10"10 in the 100m and 19"65" in the 200m.

One thing is for sure, I love to see the second part of his 200m races when he starts to fly away.

it would be great if Lyles gets near those predictions. I look forward to seeing how he goes.

I would predict 9.82-9.92 for a lesser medal in the 100 and a SB/gold in the 200 but he stays at #3 all time (19.27-19.46).

I would like to see Tebogo beat him in the 200 with a super fast time.
