Noah Lyles, who's evidently on his way to representing the US in the Paris Olympics later this year, is also apparently the Olympics preeminent Yu-Gi-Oh scholar. Before his recent heats (or races), Lyles has been flashing popular Yu-Gi-Oh cards to the cameras, including Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the head of Exodia, before tucking them back into his running suit. To top it all off, or perhaps to add insult to injury, he's been winning these races as well. Folks, I think we may have discovered the fastest geek alive.

In the same interview where he flashed both the right and left arms of Exodia, Lyles claimed that "Now it's time to build the whole thing. I got the left and right arms, and I got the legs coming tomorrow." When the interviewer had zero clue what Lyles was telling him, he clarified, "All the Yu-Gi-Oh fans know. Something big is coming."

When he debuts a Toon World-esque theme to punch the competition out at the actual Olympics next month, then what?

If he's sticking with just cards from the original anime, I'm gonna need him to payola Orichalcos. Maybe that will convince Konami to release the rest of the cards from that season.
