Did You Know

Did you know, Noah Lyles’ wild card entry in the 200m at the Zurich DL final isn’t just another race, it’s a golden chance. That's because Zurich has always been his lucky ground. He’s never lost a Diamond League race here. And this year, if Lyles grabs the Diamond League trophy, he won’t just win. He’ll become the only male athlete ever with five DL titles in a track event. Not even Usain Bolt, not anyone else, has ever claimed that. So yes, Zurich isn’t just another stop. It’s Lyles’ chance to carve his name in stone!
