Noah Lyles says his Olympics are likely over after racing with COVID. ‘Never been prouder of myself’

Something didn't make sense when Noah Lyles, the heavy favorite to win the men's 200-meter final, finished in third.

It was the same result he got three years ago in Tokyo, but he's massively improved in the event with a personal best of 19.31 (the third-fastest ever) and winning the world championships in 2022 and 2023 (he also won in 2019).

However, Lyles settled for bronze, and after cameras caught him seeking medical attention after the race, along with needing a wheelchair to head back into the tunnel, it was revealed that the 27-year-old was diagnosed with COVID earlier in the week.
