Huge win!

Lyles gets wheeled off the track like an NBA star with cramps, must've pulled something I guess?

That was a race for bronze and silver, gold was decided as long as she didn't trip.

"I still won a bronze medal even though I had COVID" impressive enough, I would think.

Weird how it didn't stop him from coming out like an idiot and showboating when they announced him. You would think that he wants ti keep his reserves if energy full.

Yeah he's definitely brash, i think he got a yellow flag for the pre-race theatrics.......still though, I think at 100% he likely would've won another gold, which would've made him even MORE obnoxious.

I wonder if his diagnosis was kept from the rest of the field, and if so, how they might feel about it now. There were two other Americans in the race, would be surprised if they didn't know as well.

Canada has underperformed at the track this time around.

Or he's lying.

Nah, he didn't race that well, went too fast at the start (especially for his style of running). Nobody was beating Tebego yesterday
