Noah Lyles has a chance to pull of the rare 'double' in the 100- and 200-meter dashes at the Paris Olympics.

“I can imagine how fast their offspring will be,” he told the Asbury Park Press. “And I’ll be right there, waiting to recruit them to Seton Hall.”He has called himself the “fastest man in the world” in interviews, again and again, and no one will be able to say otherwise if he accomplishes his goal on the purple track here in the Paris suburbs. He will try to pull off an historic double in the 100- and 200-meter races that would establish himself as an instant Olympic legend.
Moon might not have coached Noah Lyles — no college coach did as he turned pro out of high school — but he certainly considers the Team USA star part of his extended track family. And he’ll watch over the next week and a half to see if Lyles can carve his name onto the short list of Olympic performers with Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis and the rest.
“I thought, if you wanted to become an Olympian, it’s just something you automatically do if you decide you want to do it,” Noah Lyles said. “Because around me, everybody was an Olympian. I didn’t realize how hard it was until I grew up.” “It’s really exciting to look back and say, hey, I thought I ran track for me, but evidently, I was running track for my kids,” Bishop said. “They got the benefit of the knowledge and the information. I always tried to make sure they got as much support as I could, because I knew what they needed.”
