I get what he's trying to say he enjoys being in the team but wants his space to get his mind right. Nothing wrong with that

[againstthegraingolf]

I never understood how people can be so offended by someone speaking THEIR truth. He’s the Olympian, not y’all. Please chill out internet fiends.

Nice to hear a Olympian and world champion just being ‘normal’ about wanting some quiet time

[coryjackson]

Congratulations 🎈 on making it to the Olympics + good luck..
Thank you for your transparency..
Praying you find that safe space + alone time when needed ..
❤

Always brutally frank, honest but highly logical. 🥇

He just doesn’t want to sleep in the cardboard beds

[lanellenglish]

You’re so humble Noah, thank you for blessing the village with your greatness and dealing with the regular athletes and their facilities.🤦🏾‍♂️ Usain would never…

[TrevWILL]

Noah don’t wanna run into the NBA players 😂😂😂😂 He ain’t ready for that smoke 😂😂

[starbwoybling]

Jamaica 🇯🇲 will find you a safe place on the track don’t worry .

I love that, in his head, he’s the main character in a whole manga and nobody knows.

[Angel-Azrael]

If he didn't talk about the NBA no one would know who he was

[nuggetsfan]

Walking back those world champion comments real quick 😂😂😂 “I can’t get my head straight” psh

[precioustendo]

I didn’t know there was a non arrogant Noah inside this guy. So he can be calm ? 😮wow. Humility is beautiful!

[Eric-lxhp]

Kishane and Noah should do a face off!

First we had the Simone Biles show now it's the Noah Lyles show. His ego is already inflated and his first run in the 100 metres in Paris didn't make me go wow. I need a giant needle so I can deflate some big egos wonder if I can find one big enough.

Even Usain Bolt never complaint like this. This dude is delusional. He would pass me in the street and I wouldn’t recognise him. Imagine complaining about being recognised while there are people starving in other part of the world.

[Johnnyrod]

I’m wondering if he will say anything when the supreme team wins the gold in basketball 🏀
It’s more than sure that they will remember Noah in a funny way, of course IF they win 🥇

[tomzz]

Too much talking to the press. Focus on the field Noah

[ingogotico]

Poor guy, he's too popular. After all that he had to go through😢😢

[JimLutz-nf]

Lol. What was the question. I bet he wasn't even asked a question
