Paris 2024 Olympics: Noah Lyles raises white flag

The U.S. won gold in the 100 and bronze in the 200

Bad news for athletics fans and, in particular, for Lyles’ many fans. After winning the 100-meter race, the U.S. sprinter took the bronze medal in the 200-meter final. At the finish line, è appeared in great difficulty, so much so that he was transported off the track in a wheelchair.

Lyles let it be known that he has contracted Covid, confirming, therefore, that he ran the 200-meter final not in top form: "I think my Paris 2024 Olympics are over", the words of Lyles himself via social network.

"It’s not the Olympics I dreamed of, but it filled my heart with joy", added the American outfielder who, in fact, will not be at the starting ribbons of the men’s 4×100 final (he was one of the most awaited, as well as the star of the star-studded 4×100).

An absence that è is bound to make noise. Lyles è undoubtedly, one of the big stars of these Olympics. To see him forced to raise the white flag è a blow to the five-circle event. Fortunately, his name è already entered history with the incredible and compelling victory in the 100 meters.
