Team USA track and field star Noah Lyles exclusively told Us Weekly that criticism about his painted nails is ‘entertaining’ and says more about his haters than it does himself
The Team USA track and field star, who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly via his partnership with Tide, responded in jest to some of the criticism he faced for showing up to the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony with the word “ICON” painted across his nails.
One person posted via X, “I genuinely don’t have a problem with Noah Lyles. I like the energy he brings to the sport. But that painting of the nails s–t for the ladies bruh.” Another wrote, “Noah Lyles has his nails painted …This is just at the halfway point of the opening ceremony. Disturbing thus far.”
Lyles has certainly never shied away from the attention, embracing his role as a sprinter with swagger. But he acknowledged his persona can sometimes be met with resistance.
