Rojo talks Lyles into running Eugene....Lyles runs Eugene and goes home DEVASTATED

Not suprising. I knew Lyles was overrated.

if lyles doenst win anything in paris we'll forever blame rojo

Ever heard of peaking?

Kinda looked like he got away with a false start/flinch and then hesitated his next step because of it. Still charged back for 2nd.

Why would ANYBODY in their right mind listen to rojo? 🤮

I guess that's why Jakob lost the world championship. He wanted to be in 3:43 shape for a notoriously distance-unfriendly venue.

This is like what rojo did:

Please note. Give Lyles a ton of credit. He does NOT duck anyone. He has lost many times while working on getting into top shape. He is World Champ X 2 and long season and guessing he made an extra 250K today just to squeeze in one more race. 2nd to a former World Champ is nothing to be ashamed of and should be celebrated that he indeed is out there racing consistently week in and week out.

Wrong, all that matters this season is those World Championships. Lyles is the World Champion bottom line.

Asafa Powell was one of the best ever in a one and done, he sucked in Champioships

Lyles won because he made bank just to show up after probably barely training for two weeks. It's just a paycheck collection week.

Coleman is running well at moment.

Lyles winning worlds was a fluke not to be repeated

His top speed once he gets going is absolutely insane though and why he is built for the 200. He was waaaaaay down on Coleman and to end up in 2nd was bonkers enough on its own

Noah Lyles obviously wasn't in the mood. Are Olympics and World Championships important or not? Events, 100m to 800m, jumps & throws are max adrenaline events. Everyone who wanted N Lyles to show up should be happy he did so but results mean nothing.

Exactly. I wouldn’t have been bothered if he decided to call it a season after Worlds, but losing to Coleman is not a shock and definitely doesn’t diminish his Budapest performances.

Mohamad Ali lost to Frazier (and lost 5 matches overall) and Tom Brady lost 84 games. No shame in not going undefeated your whole career.

Keep up. It is his second best event and he nearly pr'd.
