Fresh off the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Lyles took to social media to thank Japanese fans who not only cheered him on but showered him with Dragon Ball Z gifts and heartfelt energy. His gratitude was all over Instagram as he called them “by far the most generous crowd” he’s ever run for, cementing his place as track’s global showman and fan favorite according to Sportskeeda. On the track, Lyles stormed back to win his fourth straight world title in the 200 meters with a sizzling 19.52, plus a bronze in the 100m and another gold as the United States’ anchor in the 4x100m relay, bringing his career World Championship medal tally to a jaw-dropping ten—World Athletics confirms all of it.
