++STARTS ON SOUNDBITE++
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Noah Lyles, American Sprinter/Olympic Medalist:
"I’ve always known I’m the fastest man in the world. It’s everybody else who’s just figuring that out because they usually like a title associated with it. In my head, I’m like, well, that’s what you guys need. I’m gonna get it. I’m gonna get the proof. But to me, I’m still the same guy."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Noah Lyles, American Sprinter/Olympic Medalist:
"I hope the message that they got is no matter what obstacles or hurdles that you have and you’re facing and you don’t believe that you’re going to be stuck with them forever. That shouldn’t diminish what you believe to be accomplished as you go on through life. I know a lot of people who get stuck in that space because they feel this is, you know, a disability or this is what, this is the cap as far as they can go, just because they have such a thing as a depression, anxiety. You know, maybe they are an amputee, maybe they deal with being on the spectrum. You know, that shouldn’t matter. Your goals should not be limited to the situation that you’re in because you can always shoot for more. And if you don’t, why should you hurt yourself or blame yourself for not trying."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Noah Lyles, American Sprinter/Olympic Medalist:
"Anytime I’ve gotten COVID, it’s never been about the temperatures, it’s always been about the body aches, the chills, the headaches, the cold and then asthma joining in on that and making it even worse. That’s, you know, our worst fear. I mean, we were, when I was back in the medical bay underneath the track, their biggest concern was, you know, me getting bronchitis because we didn’t want something to get infected and the asthma really starts to take form and so we had to really jump on top of that because if that was the case, I probably would have had to get a trip to the hospital for sure. And of course, no, this is not how I envisioned my Paris Olympics, but I’m just as proud of myself as I would have been if I obtained four, three gold medals. You know, grabbing the hundred was, I think, the most important thing."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Noah Lyles, American Sprinter/Olympic Medalist:
"I just want to be the anti-hero sometimes, a Little bit of Deadpool in there. A Little bit, you’re still going to count on me to win the day, aren’t you? And as my mom used to say, ‘the higher you go up on the ladder, the more your underwear is going to show.’ So regardless, people are going to have opinions and to be honest, they’ve never met me so they wouldn’t know, but everybody who’s ever met me comes away saying, ‘oh my gosh, I feel so inspired. That was the coolest guy I’ve ever met.’"
