Lyles only mistake was the post-race injury theatrics

It was just reported

I’m literally dying right now bc Noah is a hero for running with Covid…let’s infect everyone else while we’re at it. Total 180 from Tokyo. 😂🤣

After those theatrics I think we can agree we need water stations for the 200m

On a serious note, the guy has COVID.

I'm not saying that that was the reason for his sub par performance but that explains the mask.

Oh snap

Noah getting crap for running sick. (Not the only athlete to compete ill.)

Noah would get crap if he didn’t.

Noah also getting crap for Bronze.

Noah would get crap if he got Gold for not being fast enough.

Haters gonna hate. Noah’s gonna run. Fast.

Good on him.

Its absolutely the reason for the sub par performance. bad luck, no hard feelings.

Donovan Bailey caught the flu and couldnt defend his 100m title at the 2000 Olympics. It happens.

Just dont make it anything more than it is, hard luck, and move on.

They’re going to make a bronze statue of him running the 200.

Yep, it's all me me me with Noah.

Noah was not beating a 19.4 lol and Tebogo slowed down

Dude literally everyone in the finals will get Covid. He tested positive 2 days ago lol.

No one is giving him crap for running sick. I think most people, even haters can agree Noah would have won if he was 100% (I’m a hater). People are giving him crap for the way he acts.

Peacock coverage was more interested in showing Lyles' Emmy-level heaving performance on the ground than Tebogo or Kenny B.

Love Lyles, but that was clown behavior.

All that talk that the 200m is your event. You lose, regardless of the circumstances, you get up and congratulate your compatriot at the very least.

Had he won he wouldn't have been laying around on the ground and asking for a wheelchair.

He just cant stand not being the center of attention.

Noah would not necessarily have won the finals. He's only run faster than 19.45 once in his life. Tebogo nearly ran down Lyles at 19.50 last year.

Tebogo has been taking it slooow for the past month or so with the Olympics in mind. He wasn't dividing his attention with all kinds of drama. He wasn't even running as fast as he could. Every race he's run since late June, he's run like he's got the final coming up.

Theatrics in, theatrics out..

The fools saying that he had COVID-19, why then was he running if he knew he was unwell?

He should be charged for endangering the lives of other competitors!

The thing is: he blatantly and squarely lost to Tebogo. All these excuses he was sick blah blah blah are sickening and disgusting!

And FYI, he'll never again win any 200M so long as Tebogo is still around.

🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼♥️♥️♥️

No way they let Lyles run with Covid.

Since you literally died, RIP.
