Noah Lyles reveals his conditions for potentially joining Michael Johnson’s new Grand Slam Track league, emphasizing key factors.
Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles has made it clear that he will not be joining Michael Johnson’s newly announced Grand Slam Track (GST) league without a few conditions in place.
Lyles, known for his dazzling speed and outspoken personality, spoke candidly in an exclusive interview with ESPN shedding light on the factors that will influence his decision.
While GST has already signed Olympic sprint medallists Fred Kerley and Kenny Bednarek, Lyles remains non-committal.
“Personally, I just need to see a TV provider,” said the 27-year-old sprinter, who is eyeing another Olympic title in Paris next summer.
“The problem with our sport right now is that we have great performances, but nobody’s able to see them.”
Lyles’s remarks point to a broader challenge facing the sport of track and field: visibility.
