Noah Lyles once addressed the issue of track and field lacking visibilityLyles at the Olympic Games-Paris 2024 - (Source: Getty)Lyles, the three-time gold medalist at the 2023 World Championships, has been vocal about taking track and field to great heights. Since the sport only garners attention in the Olympic years, Lyes felt that pre-race walk-ins like the NFL can help athletes become more marketable off the track. "We just got to do a better job of showing that this important, I mean, how are we going to, we could compete with them, we just have to do what some of the things that they're doing, we talk about the walk-in. The walk-ins lead to articles with athletes in GQ; now we're talking about marketing them outside of track."Lyles also discussed the limitation of most streaming platforms that only allow viewers with subscriptions. The practice obstructs casual viewers from enjoying the sport. Noah Lyles won his first World title in the 200m at the 2019 Doha World Championships. He was also in contention at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finishing third in the 200m at his debut Games.
