ATHLETICS Kelvin Kiptum to battle Noah Lyles in World Athletics Awards as final list is released
Kelvin Kiptum and Noah Lyles are among the five finalists for Men’s World Athlete of the Year.
Lyles asked: “Is the triple enough to get World Athletes of the Year???”
A fan of his commented on the question saying: “It should, not only did you triple but you were the underdog in the 100, no one thought you would win except you and a lot of your fans including myself and family. You proved the doubters wrong that should be more than enough.”
Another fan seemed to disagree with his thoughts and said: “Worthy of being a finalist for sure, but someone who broke a world record might edge it. I hope to see you break the 200m world record someday though.”
