In episode three of the Oregon Ducks docuseries 'That Team Out West', Coach Dan Lanning uses Olympic Champion, Noah Lyles' 100-meter dash victory as a learning tool.
sprinter defeated Jamaican Kishane Thompson and fellow USA star Fred Kerley to win the first American gold medal in the glamour event of the Olympic Games since 2004.
The margin separating the gold medal winner and the 7th place finisher was less than one tenth of a second. There aren’t many better visuals to showcase the harsh realities of competing on the highest level than that. You can run one of the fastest times ever recorded and still fall short of your goals by a sizable margin despite how close it may feel.
For context, Lyles is a three-time world champion and two-time Olympic bronze medalist in the 200-meter dash. In recent years he’s made a concerted effort to become the best in the world at the 100-meter dash. This very simply just doesn’t happen often in track. In football terms, it’s like a big framed outside receiver becoming the shifty slot receiver that catches bubble screens and takes the end-arounds on jet sweeps. It’s a rare occurrence.
