Even if Lyles was 100% Teboho clearly had too much. Running 19:45 while celebrating 50m out? He should have run 19:20 or lower - no way Lyles was matching that.
That was not 50m out, come on. He gave up less than a tenth I think. Still impressive as hell.
You guys can just say he had a sub par race lol the excuses aren’t gonna work here. Dude came sprinting out of the tunnel, jumping up and down, screaming. Then he’s falling over from exhausting like he just did a distance event?
Lmaooooo bro was out doing 7ft jumps and spins screaming his head off 2 mins ago
Actually, even while doing those he didn’t look good. Looked to be favoring one leg and not as energetic as usual. Hard to know what Lyles runs if okay (and part of the game is getting there okay) but Tebogo a deserved winner in a quick time.
I admit I’d rather have seen peak Lyles and perhaps the two of them battling to the line.
Jesus, four National Records in that second semi and only one of them finished in a qualifying position. Walcott Nolan and Vissa both went sub-4 for the first time and finished 9th and 10th. Sub-4 right down to 12th place. Just crazy.
Hard to draw any conclusions as Kipyegon sat off the pace which she won't do in the final.
Maybe the repechage rounds aren't totally useless filler. Walcott-Nolan and Vissa ran all-time bests after an extra 1500m in their legs. Three of the six repechage survivors on the men's side also dropped pbs in the semis.
So embarrassing that our media is refusing to report on what’s going on with Noah and then spin a narrative of a straight up upset

They no longer require athletes to withdraw if they have covid. World is in a very different place than 3 years ago, now that everyone has had it / vaccinated.
Tebogo might be the one who breaks 200m WR. Also 19.46 is faster speed than Lyles 9.79 in 100m. So, technically Lyles is not even the fastest man out of this olympics.

Lyles lyles if he could just focus on running instead of running his mouth. I thought Kenny was going to win but it was that 21yr old stud from Tobago. I did see the Tobago dude in his heats , he was trouble for both Kenny and Lyles. He beat both easily. No double for Lyles but can't win them all but he did win the fastest man on Earth Title. Lyles had a great Olympics
