Noah Lyles Spills Harsh Track Reality

Publication by EssentiallySports | June 28, 2026 | Edition #598 |
Hey Athletic Fans,
Another day and Noah Lyles has sparked a new debate. This time he has given a harsh take. Meanwhile, another Olympian made history by smashing a world record a decade after it all began. There's also Mondo’s redemption arc, an unfortunate update from horse racing, and more in today’s roundup.


Do You Think Noah Lyles' Assessment Of the Track and Field Audience Is Valid? |


Elaine Thompson-Herah, the Jamaican sprint queen remains the second-fastest woman in history, trailing only Florence Griffith Joyner after her stunning 10.54-seconds time.
A six-time Olympic medalist and five-time World Championships medalist, Thompson-Herah also became the first woman ever to complete the Olympic 100m/200m double at consecutive Games (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020).
No wonder she is regarded the greatest Jamaican female sprinter of all time.
