  Is Noah Lyles The Most Impressive American Sprinter in Over 30 Years? 01.08.2026 15min

  At the 2026 USA Outdoor Championships, Noah Lyles won his 3rd national title in the 100m. His winning time of 9.79 seconds, not only tied his personal best, but was almost a full 10th of a second ahead of 2nd place.Noah has always been known as more of a 200m guy and is undeniably one of the best in history. But in the 100m, he started off a bit underestimated, had some mixed results. And in recent years he’s gotten much more consistent, and became the best sprinter in the country.But today we go a step farther and argue way Noah is possibly more impressive than anyone we have seen since Carl Lewis in the 80s and the 90s.-------------------------------------------📱Twitter: https://x.com/EmeroleAnderson🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFinalLeg📱Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/atkoeme/🎧⁠Subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts⁠-------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 Intro02:15 Noah’s 100m Career04:33 How Does Noah Compare to History?05:24 Justin Gatlin06:49 Tyson Gay08:11 Maurice Greene09:36 Dennis Mitchell10:46 Carl Lewis12:51 Why Noah is Special14:45 Summary
