PARIS — For months, Noah Lyles has aggressively chased the spotlight. He has invited Netflix cameras to trail him wherever he goes, strutted the runways of Milan and Paris and offered himself up as a guest on the late-night talk-show circuit.
Whenever a microphone or camera is nearby, Lyles hasn’t been shy about laying out his grandiose goals for the Paris Olympics. America’s fastest man has told anyone who will listen how he intends to eclipse the legendary Usain Bolt, how he hopes to capture four Olympic gold medals, how he’d like to return home a world record holder.
