Dude isn't even in top, top form, but no one can match his blazing start. No one. He has that Justin Gatlin Discipline.
Lyles needs to work on his start, because that come from behind speed is not anything to rely on. IN Sprinting, the start, drive phase, the hold, and the finish are all important. He had nothing in the last 50m.
Indoor World Champion, and he is carving up the DL. Best Male Sprinter of 2018.

Not sure if "carving up" is the right way to describe it.

Sooo, are you suggesting that Noah's coach doesn't know what he's doing?
Yes he won, just. That post-indoor injury has had a serious effect on Coleman's ultimate performance this season. Let's channel the inner vento - a guy who ran 6.34WR for the 60 should be (at the very least) approaching or (more likely) inside 9.7 for the 100 .
Greene 6.39 - 9.79
Johnson 6.39-9.79
Chambers 6.42-9.86
Surin 6.45-9.84
Powell 6.44-9.72
Coleman 6.34-(9.65-9.72?)

No. I'm suggesting that his starting ability is s h i t, which means he has not been working on it, or practicing it. Coleman is the best starter in the world ( Gatlin is the best starter of all time...to me), and he knows how to hold through the finish. Lyles focuses on driving strong in the last 40m, basically, using his 200m strength to try to get the win at the tape.
Coleman
NCAA 100m record holder
60m WR holder
2-0 vs Bolt
World Champs silver medal
And he's young.
He has ran a 4.1 40 also.
Noah Lyles is a long sprinter, he could run a sub45.0 tommorrow. He is not a 100m spinter so for him to do what he's done is pretty amazing. He is becoming a 100m.
Tommie Smith totally sucked inthe first 60m of everything he ran, then here hecame, you would swear he was shifting gears the long the race went, Lyles is similiar to that.
Bolt was considered a 200m specialist.
Most didn’t think he would make in the 100.
Too tall. Bad start.

Hey, I don't hate lyles. I just hate his antics, and all the silly stuff that he does, as well as track and field giving him more attention than Christian Coleman. They are basically trying to make him the next big thing.
And he is very, very cocky. I like confident runners, but saying you are going to run 9.40 for 100m is just absurd. Just let your running. Sprinting does not need that crap. It sells itself because people love speed.
do the talking.
I wouldn't say carving up. But I was going to say he's beating a guy no one consider to be a 100m runner until this year who is much younger than him and is the best 200m runner in the world.
But they're only 16 months apart in age. They were 2 years apart in school but Lyles is old for his year.

Naw, Bro. I don't want to hear that. Coleman left Lyles in the dust off the start, and held strong until the finish. Plus Coleman is still injured!
Had Lyles beaten Coleman that would have been shouted throughout the world.
That's twice Coleman has beaten Lyles in their much hyped showdown. But since Lyles has lost both of those races, now people one to down play lyles and say that he isn't a pure 100m runner.
So I don't want to hear the excuses or downplays.

Sheesh... talk about running your mouth on a message board. As someone who has been around him a bit, I can say with without a doubt that he exactly opposite of what you said. He's extremely nice, and a very all-around talented guy.
He's exactly what sprinting needs.

Well, if he is that way, then cool. However, in the media, it is being portrayed in a different light.
And I'm sorry. If you make comments about having a dream, where you ran 9.40, and that is going to be your focus for your career, it's going to be perceived in a certain way. Just saying.
Scorpian runner goes home devastated...

“I had a dream in 2016 and, I was preparing to run the semi-finals and the clock flashed 9.41sec. I ran up to my mum and said, ‘Mum, I just ran 9.41sec,’ and she was like, ‘That’s nice, Noah.’ I didn’t even feel like I was pushing in the race. It’s funny how you can take things from reality and put them into dreams. I do think I can run 9.41sec. I don’t know when it’s going to happen but I’m going to try my best and do everything in my power, to make it happen.”
– Noah Lyles talking about how he believes he will eventually break the 100m world record.

I don't care what these guys do as long as they can back it up.
Lyles was pretty much a 200m guy prior to this season, so for him to have done what's he's doing in his first serious 100m serious is pretty impressive.
Keep in mind he should be a college kid, he's young and it does show.
Coleman is a sub 19.90 200m guy why he isn't there working on that speed endurance(which he needs)...???

I was one of those, I actually mentiioned being surprised if he ran a sub 10.20, yep.....EL DUHO~~~~
JFC OP pisses me off. Constantly starts threads bashing runners but never backs up his crap. Can't tell if it's a troll or not.

Okay, you know what? You do have point. I did forget that he should be in college, and he is only 21. So, yeah, maybe he just needs to mature over time, and I hope that he does.
However, Trayvon Brommel and Christian Coleman were/are just more structured , or less silly I should say.
That was in HS.
