Olympic Champion Noah Lyles Says Asafa Powell is the Prefect 100m Sprinter

[ThunderJuice]

Ato Boldon said it best - if you had a lump of clay and modelled the perfect 100m sprinter, it would look like Asafa.

[VERLETTEMAE]

That's why he is the sub 10 king 97 times he has run sub 10

[creex]

The most under 10 sec in history. He was a juggernaut, and legend. He let the big races get to him, but he was a beast in the 100m.

[ryb]

Well said. Asafa had the perfect form that makes sprinting look easy.

[Felyxx]

Jamaica with Yohan Blake, Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell in the same team was like a football team with Pele, Maradona, Messi and Ronaldo together.

[orleypowell]

I totally agree with Noah. Asafa's sprinting is poetry in motion. A pleasure to watch❤😊

[kathleensmith]

I'm so in agreement with you Noah. Asafa had the perfect start and beautiful execution. My favorite athlete ♥️🇯🇲

[MrSuperOurs]

Imagine Powell with Bolt's mindset. Who knows what he could have achieved. But Powell is still a legend, and my all time favourite sprinter. I could watch him sprint all day, it's perfection, pure art.

Noah The truth will set you free Asafa Powell is A living track legend 🇯🇲BIG 🆙️ 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[omarwiggan]

That's why Noah is so fast and getting even faster by the seasons. He knows and studies the former kings of the sport. As Asafa, out of Championship races...Noah doesn't panic and always finishes. He may not have the start 85% of the time but he really finishes...which almost always gives him the edge.

Hats to you Noah spoken not just as an athlete but an honest fan. Class on and off the field.

I used to sprint in high school and after an Injury lost the love for it.

I feel back in love with sprinting watching Asafa Powell’s form. I’ve never seen a more consistent, graceful sprinter in my life.

Everyone looks like their struggling, evvvveryone. Whether he wins or loses, his form remains. Beautiful technique!

[Tahlawah]

I love that a asafa is getting his flowers now

[cugcontacts]

The man is speaking facts. Nuff respect to him..

[aminech]

I'm starting to liking this guy he is speaking real

[planat]

Noah, USA fan, I'm American. I've always been a fan of Jamaican sprinters. They're classy, talented, and entertaining.

[benjaminkuch]

Asafa Powell with Bolt's championship mindset would have been soooo strong

[pegleggreg]

Really though. Perfect height and build, as well as technique. He had the times as well. 9.7 is no joke.
I like Gatlin's powerful form too

[ForeverGod]

expertly explained. as a jamaican myself it was so unfortunate that he was not able to capture titles over the years.

[marciabird]

Well said about Asapha. He is always a legend. Coolest Track King
