Following his iconic performances in Budapest, Lyles tops the list of breaking legendary Bolt's WR of 19.19s in the 200m, and by winning his first 100m world title, pundits say he can't be overlooked in the possibility of going for the 100m WR of 9.58s.

"I gave up trying to break the 200m World Record in Budapest' - Noah Lyles
Noah Lyles has confirmed that winning the 100m and 200m titles at the World Championships in Budapest wasn't easy, and had to give up on breaking Usain Bolt's 200m World Record.
Interestingly, Lyles has his sentiments on adding the records to his resume, even though he sees himself as the best personality to fit into the legend's shoes. He made this known in an interview with Chris Cohen for gq.com.
"It's always in my head. But the thing about world records though is it's never under your control. You could be in shape to be able to do it, but what if the wind is not in your direction and legal, if the weather is raining or cloudy, or too sunny, if the crowd isn't hype enough if the competition isn't exciting enough? It's all these things that go into when a world record is really broken. It'll come one of these days for sure. You know, Michael Johnson chased his world record for six years," said Lyles.
