Noah Lyles has unveiled his short film The Fastest Man in the World offering an inside look at his 2024 journey.

American sprint king Noah Lyles has lit up social media once again this time with the announcement of his latest project — a short film titled The Fastest Man in the World.

The highly anticipated film, which explores Lyles’ remarkable journey through the 2024 track season, is set to captivate audiences, with a trailer dropped yesterday and the series finale set to air this Sunday.

Lyles has been a dominant force in track and field over the past few years, and his 2024 season only cemented his legendary status.

After a stellar performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he won gold in the 100m and bronze in the 200m, Lyles is ready to give fans an inside look at the blood, sweat, and emotions that fueled his success.

The sprinter describes the film as a continuation of his previous projects, including the well-received Making of an Icon, which chronicled his preparation for the 2024 Racers Grand Prix in Kingston, Jamaica.

“The finale chapter of Noah Lyles’ The Unseen Journey series, following the events of The Making of an Icon,” Lyles shared in a post.

“This film covers the 2024 NYC Grand Prix, 2024 US Olympic Trials, and the 2024 Paris Olympics. Witness the defining moments that shape the legacy of the Fastest Man in the World.”

Fans eagerly await to see how Lyles’ latest project captures his intense 2024 season.

Since its debut in 2022, The Unseen Journe series has kept viewers glued to their screens as they followed Lyles’ pursuit of greatness, including his chase of Usain Bolt’s elusive 200m world record.

The series has become known for its raw and unfiltered portrayal of the realities of elite athletics.

But what makes this upcoming film stand out is that it doesn’t just focus on Lyles’ victories — it dives into the highs and lows that shaped him into the athlete and person he is today.

One of the most significant moments highlighted in Lyles’ career so far was when he met his idol, Usain Bolt, at the 2024 Racers Grand Prix in Kingston.

That pivotal moment, along with Lyles’ battles with childhood health scares and mental health struggles, was covered in NBC Sports’ Untitled: The Noah Lyles Project, which aired in August 2023.

The documentary received widespread praise for showing a side of Lyles that most fans hadn’t seen before.

“This isn’t your typical sports documentary,” one fan tweeted.

“It’s about resilience, pushing through the pain, and never losing sight of who you are. Noah keeps breaking barriers, both on and off the track.”

Lyles’ personality shines just as brightly as his performances on the track, and The Fastest Man in the World promises to bring fans even closer to the charismatic sprinter.

Between his lightning speed and his fearless approach to life, Lyles has cemented himself not only as one of the greatest sprinters of his generation but also as a leading voice for the sport of track and field.

For many fans, the anticipation around this weekend’s double feature is palpable.

Track and field enthusiasts are counting down the hours until the trailer drops, and the final episode of The Unseen Journey promises to offer a gripping conclusion to a season that redefined Lyles' legacy.
