Moments are made in track and field almost as quickly as a sprinter steps off the starting line. That often goes beyond the tracks. And when Noah Lyles is around, there is no scarcity of such moments, even off the tracks. Recently, he once again created one such after Team USA won the 4x100m relay at the 2024 Bahamas World Relays in Nassau.
With a time of 37.40, the USA team was sitting marginally ahead of the Canadian team, anchored by Andre De Grasse (37.89). With Canada lagging closely behind Team USA in the men’s 4×100-meter relay, Lyles added a bit of controversy to the proceedings. After the event, Lyles was caught by Citiusmag for his first reaction. When asked about the “Budding rivalry between US and Canada” Lyles asked, “Rivalry between who?” In an apparent mocking, he continued asking, “Who?…Who?” every time the interviewer tried asking asked him the question. That drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.
