Olympic champion Noah Lyles COLLAPSES on track after dramatic 200m final #paris2024 #usa #athelete

Covid-positive Noah Lyles leaves stadium in wheelchair after Olympics 200m bronze. Noah Lyles left the Stade de France on a wheelchair after revealing that he had Covid following his failed attempt to emulate Usain Bolt's 100m-200m Olympic sprint double.
Noah Lyles was carted out of the Stade De France in Paris after receiving medical attention.
A Paris 2024 spokesman said the sprinter was taken away from the track in a wheelchair because he couldn’t walk away on his own.
Lyles fell short of a historic sprint double at the Olympics after finishing third in the 200 meters behind Letsile Tebogo of Botswana.
Tebogo produced a dominant last 50 metres in the race and crossed the line in 19.46 seconds beating his chest as he crossed the line.
Noah Lyles left the Stade de France on a wheelchair after revealing that he had Covid following his failed attempt to emulate Usain Bolt’s 100m-200m Olympic sprint double.
The American, who had won the 100m by just 0.005sec on Sunday, entered the stadium by leaping up and down and cupping his ear to the fans but was left slumped at the side of the track after an emphatic defeat by Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo.
Noah Lyles’ hopes of completing the sprint double came crashing down and ended with the American being taken out of the stadium in a wheelchair.
After claiming the gold in the 100m final, Lyles was looking to make it two from two in his pet event inside the Stade de France.
But it wasn’t to be as Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo pulled off the stunning upset to become first African to win the Olympic 200 metres.
Tebogo came off the bend marginally ahead of Kenneth Bednarek and Lyles but raced clear in the final 50m to run the fifth fastest time ever recorded – behind only Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake.
Covid-stricken Noah Lyles missed out on an Olympic sprint double after falling short in the men's 200m final in Paris, with Letsile Tebogo of Botswana taking gold and American Kenny Bednarek snapping up silver.
The world champion at the distance was hoping become the first man since Usain Bolt at the Rio 2016 Games to secure both the 100m and 200m titles.
Letsile Tebogo of Botswana ran past the fastest man on Earth to win gold in the 200-meter race at the Paris Olympics.
Kenneth Bednarek came in second place for silver and Noah Lyles — fresh from winning the 100-meter sprint on Sunday — surprised by coming in third place for bronze.
After crossing the finish line, Lyles looked ill, bent down to the ground, struggled to control his breath, and called for water. He was later seen rolling out in a wheelchair.
Noah Lyles’ sprint double quest came up just short. He finished third in the 200 final, clocking in at 19.70 for the bronze medal.
Lyles ran despite testing positive for COVID-19. Following the race, Lyles, who has a history of asthma, received medical attention and collapsed into a wheelchair.
"I woke up early about 5 a.m. on Tuesday morning and I was feeling really horrible. I knew it was more than being sore from the 100," Lyles said after the race. "Woke up the doctors and we tested and it came back as positive for COVID. My first thought was not to panic. I'm thinking I've been in worse situations. I've run with worse conditions, I felt, and we just took it day by day, tried to hydrate as much, quarantined.
"It's taken its toll for sure, but I've never been more proud of myself to be able to come out here and getting a bronze medal."

Lyes entered the stadium jumping and hollering. Now, that he lost to a better athlete, he’s sick? Nope! Sell that fake narrative somewhere else, because we’re not buying it.

[velvetechostudio]

Stop the false narratives, he lost to a better runner END OF STORY.

[floydmohale]

[richardjohnsergeant]

He got humbled. Lost me when he entered the stadium jumping around hitting his chest. Bet he wouldnt be sick if he won the race. Take the loss. Stop that covid wheelchair crap.

[TeStOs]

Lyles ego got hurt sooo bad that he couldn't stand the thought of walking off a loser...
Being strolled off in a wheel chair to take the attention off yourself losing is pathetic tho!

[YoungCarlix]

He LOSE! Case closed! FOH with the narratives😅😅😅 he nah baddah than Usain!! Never!!!!

[hayfron]

He caught covid during the race, just after the bend..

[salemkelemu]

He” collapsed” not because he was sick, it’s because he couldn’t handle the humiliation after that embarrassing dancing and showing off before the start. It went straight to his heart.😂😂😂 I love it when arrogant people are silenced by humble hard workers. Well done to Botswana!

[williambillkereku]

[joeldriver-sprg]

One of the most pathetic displays I've ever seen in sports. He was jumping around feeling great before the race and then when he loses he puts on this act to try to make it seem as if he was sick or something. LOL

[scolakamau]
