Rojo gets ROASTED by World Champ Noah Lyles in the press conference

So I guess he does read the boards. Lol

"We talked at great length with Michael to get his takes on the current stars of the sport. He was impressed with the current crop of sprint superstars, but he perhaps had the most praise for Noah Lyles. When Rojo threw it out there that he believed Noah might never win an Olympic gold medal, Michael wouldn’t let it go quietly.
Michael said, “Are you crazy? Noah Lyles probably isn’t gonna win a gold medal ever? Are you serious? You seriously believe that Noah Lyles is never gonna win a gold medal?” When Rojo said he thought there was a decent chance Erriyon Knighton or Letsile Tebogo beat him next year at the Olympics, Johnson pointed out why Noah deserves to be the big favorite.
Michael said, “Noah’s getting faster, running consistently fast times. Regardless of all of that, times are one thing, but the thing is Noah’s been winning."

I think it's a decent shout by Rojo. Lyles looked unsure he'd even won the 100m when he crossed the line cause he was spooked that Tebogo and Hughes had got so close. Was also partly cause Hughes celebrated over the line like he'd pipped him haha

Sprinters love Rojo. Wait until he gets roasted by Sha'Carri.

What did rojo answer? I couldn't make it out. "____, he's pretty good."

He might not win any OGMs. I think he's likely to win one next year, but it's far from a lock.

It was "Tebogo, he's pretty young"

Rojo sacrificed himself for this.

He took one from the troll playbook and it worked out lol

Tonight after winning the men's 100m at the World Championships in Budapest, Noah Lyles answered the first question from Jonathan Gault and ended it by calling out LetsRun.com co-founder Robert Johnson for publicly stating that he believes Lyles will never win an Olympic gold.

"And for your friend there, how many Olympic medals am I going to win now?" said Lyles.

Here is the exchange (and we've added in Robert's question of Lyles from later in the press conference).

Here is the clip from our podcast that Noah Lyles must have seen recently.

Hers is the full 100m press conference.

I don't think he reads the boards, as he mentioned during his interview with Chris Chavez (30:00 of link below) that he just heard the Michael Johnson interview. Pretty funny, regardless.

Why are you referring to yourself as "our rojo"?

The statement still stands until he win gold in Paris. It’s in a years time and a lot can happen with him and other athletes in the distance. Let’s just wait and see who’ll be eating their words.

How’s that a roast? Just because he won world championships golds does that automatically mean that he will win gold in Paris? He can roast and clap back at Rojo when if he wins gold in Paris.

Jimmy thinks it’s strange to write a thread this way.

Should be merged

Adding "our" in fro

The look on your face is priceless.

If derrrr had a face this is the one.

Tools get off on even the slightest recognition

Rojo GOES HOME DEVASTATED!!!!!
