Noah Lyles Breaks Usain Bolt’s Record, To Star In Netflix Show

Noah Lyles, an American sprinter, achieved a remarkable victory at the London Diamond League by winning the 200-meter race in just 19.47 seconds. 

This time set a new World Lead and also broke his own record of 19.67 seconds, which he had set in May. 

With this win, Lyles surpassed Usain Bolt’s record for the most wins under 20 seconds in 200-meter races. Before the race, both Lyles and Bolt were tied at 34 wins each.

In the same event, Femke Bol, a Dutch star, ran the third-fastest time ever in the 400-meter hurdles race, clocking 51.45 seconds.

Noah Lyles, at the age of 26, is considered one of the top sprinters and has expressed his intention to attempt a double at the upcoming World Athletics Championships.
