Anyone miss the old days when we didn't need every athlete (and media entity) to act like they are totally unique. Like is it really necessary for NBC to play up that Lyles will cut his nails and get a hair-cut before Worlds?
NBC wrote:
Noah Lyles is meticulously preparing for what will be the busiest world championships of his track career.
Before going to Budapest for worlds that start next week, Lyles will visit his 16-year-old nail technician in Clermont, Florida, for a unique design.
Once in Hungary, he plans to unveil an aerodynamic hairstyle and then a special post-race celebration with friends and family.
The article led with that anecodote. I found the following quote to be much more interesting.
“There is what I will accept, and then there’s what my greatest expectation is,” he said. “What I will accept is grabbing a medal in the 100m, whatever color, and winning the 200m. My greatest aspiration is that I will grab three golds, gain a world record in the 200m.”
