It was just not Noah Lyles’ day today. Having entered the Stade de France with unbridled enthusiasm, it was clear that Lyles wanted to be a double Olympic champion. However, within the next few minutes, the horrors of his past came hovering before his eyes. 19.70, his 200m timing had restricted him to another bronze, repeating Tokyo history. Moreover, post-race, it looked like a health scare required him to be carted in a wheelchair.
Yes, it seems that Lyles’ condition worsened after the 200m sprint. It remains unclear right now if it is his asthma or if he has sustained a new injury. However, either of the two rings a bell of alarm for the American phenom. But even in this moment of uncertainty, fans are taking to the internet to mock him. One of them pens, “Pray for Noah Lyles #fakeinjury.” While another one chimes in with, “Noah Lyles getting bronze then faking a chest injury is grade A tv.”
