'Goku vs Broly' - Justin Gatlin on how both Noah Lyles & Kishane Thompson’s love for Japanese animation is shaping their sprinting battle
Justin Gatlin has explained how Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson's common love for Japanese animation is shaping their track rivalry especially with the 2025 World Championships taking place in Tokyo.
Lyles’ penchant for showcasing his love for popular culture, particularly Japanese animation, has often been on full display.
From his pre-race gestures inspired by iconic anime characters like Goku from Japanese animation Dragon Ball to flashing his collection of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, the sprinter has made it clear that his personality is as vibrant as his athleticism.
These moments have drawn both admiration and criticism, with some seeing them as playful expressions of personality and others questioning their appropriateness in a professional setting.
Speaking on the Beyond the Records podcast, Lyles delved into the philosophy behind his exuberant behavior.
“We’re all just people, you know? We like to enjoy time with each other, and we all love playing video games,” he shared.
“I can’t even count how many times I’ve sat on couches and played video games with some famous guys’ kids. It’s like, wow, we’re just all here to hang out, you know?”
The Olympic gold medalist emphasized the importance of fun as a guiding principle in his life. “At the end of the day, we just like to do fun things,” he said.
Lyles’ passion for joy and playfulness stems from his childhood, as he revealed, “I was a huge Peter Pan fan when I was a kid. I never wanted to grow up. Honestly, I still don’t like the idea of growing up. All I want to do is just have fun.”
The sprinter's vibrant personality was particularly evident during the Paris Olympics, where he captivated audiences not just with his athletic prowess but also with his anime-inspired tributes.
