Lyles actually had a great start but was slower towards the end, very odd from him.
Thrilled for Bednarek!
People hating on Noah
Dude clearly has something because he is gassed
Winning a bronze with whatever is ailing him is impressive by itself
EDIT: People seriously hating on him when his time was also way off his best in the event he’s best at
Dude wasn’t at 100 for whatever reason and still medaled. Hating just because he talks but can actually back it up
EDIT 2: Confirmed by his mom that he was diagnosed by Covid two days ago. That with his Asthma history obviously hindered him in this race. Huge respect to actually go out and compete without using it as an excuse
Why did Tebogo stop at the end?
It was for sure Olympic Record, maybe even WR!!
I feel bad that I’m talking shit about Lyles because he did win a gold, but he doesn’t help himself with how cocky he is before every race.
People hating on Noah are so weird.
whoohoo Tebogo!
u/SaveVideo
Does Tebogo have a chance at Bolt’s record?
Y’all really want sports to be boring as possible
It’s ok to talk some shit when you’re really good at something, it makes things more fun
Great run from Tebogo!
A lot of people apparently are unaware that track athletes don’t just walk out onto the track with cold muscles to race. You warm up for at least an hour before you race, to include doing several short, lower effort sprints before racing. Many sprinters will jump around before they go into the blocks.
BBC confirm Lyles has covid
Here comes the insufferable haters….
Could tell something was up as he did not have the usual speed endurance. Credit to Tebogo, worthy winner no matter what.
Lyles always said the 200 is his wife and the 100 is his mistress. Looks like his wife found out about his mistress.
Can’t help but feel a bit bummed for Lyles, but happy for Tebogo and thrilled for Bednarek! Kung-Fu Kenny’s story is inspiring – he’s overcome a lot.
It’s pretty clear Lyles has COVID-19, at the 120m mark he just seems to run out of energy, and while he’s still going, he’s pushing, and he’s not able to get anymore out. It’s a shame we’re not seeing him at his best. Hope he’s alright because he was taken away on a transfer chair.
He’s interviewing now, he tested positive for Covid
quite exciting for Botswana to get their third olympic medal ever, and their first gold!
Well done Tebogo!!! Representing the continent well
My mans left no doubt
Tebogold! 🇧🇼
people are saying Lyles was sick , still managed to get bronze, amazing, but gold for Botswana that is amazing as well. All of them are the fastest men on the planet, great job everyone
Fantastic Tebogo 🇧🇼
Noah got hospitalized??
Why’s everyone talking about Lyles? How about we celebrate Tebogo who won his country’s first ever gold?
Unless Khelif gets the gold in boxing this will definitely be the signature gold for Africa at this Olympics. What a great win, made sweeter by the US immediately coming out and making excuses.
Thank you !! Saves having to look for replays.
Lots of covid excuses and not enough credit to Letsile Tebogo. Congratulations Botswana.
This race and result cements even more the legacy of Usain Bolt and what he’s done . For three consecutive olympics Three marquee events To dominate every single one of them with no question of close or photo finish
Bolt was really in a league and legacy of his own. GoAT 🐐 🫡
Is there any chance Lyles will be in the 4 x 400m relay? Or is he done for Paris?
Shame Kung Fu was just a little slow.
Props to Botswana!
I applaud OP for not putting the spoiler in the title like the news do. I want to watch the whole day replay with my wife cuz I’m busy at work today.
Why the tap on this chest before the finish line ? Wouldn’t he have been able to improve his time some more not doing this ?
Given Noah’s history of asthma and breathing issues, doing this event and the semis with COVID is borderline suicidal. I’m glad he seems to be doing ok post-race, but if anyone is at high risk with COVID, it’s Noah.
As a zimbabwean this made me so damn proud!! It would have been great if they won, but its still amazing that there were even there!!
2 of the 8 fastest people in the world at the 200m race are zimbabwean and that’s super

HOLY
What happened Noah
Absolutely wild
That’s why bolt always so relax before a race. You should use your energy on the race
Noah got COVID apparently

Why was he leaping about before the start?
Anyway, the NBA fans have started on him. 😬
