Lyles hadn't lost a 200m race since the 2021 Tokyo Games. He's now 0-2 in Olympic 200 finals. He's now lost just 3 200m pro races in his life with 2 of them being the Olympic final.
A faster 300m opener than WVD, Bolt, and MJ was nothing to sneeze at and I've been big on him since I wish he'd run hard through the line though this habit of his is getting annoying tbh

Why else would he be slower in his best event after setting a pb in 100?
... because he's been doing ridiculous amounts of media and running his mouth non-stop for 3 days.
Maybe he is ill, I don’t think he would stumple out like that if he werent. If he’d bomb the 100 too I would be more inclined to suspect otherwise. Could be an anxiety attack too.
He’s definetely over the top, but I’ll take that anytime over any of the boring robots that make up a huge part of the track and field circuit. It’s crazy how ready some of you people are to pounce on a guy with many olympic and world championship medals, the moment he “ONLY” gets the bronze, it’s not like he finished last or didnt even qualify for the final. You bums should look up the “Law of Jante”
