Earlier this year, American sprinter Noah Lyles came out to mock the NBA for calling their winners “World Champions”.
His argument was that you cannot call yourself “World Champions” for winning a title only American clubs competed in. That unless you compete against the rest of the world and win, you’re not a “World Champion”.
My God, Americans turned on him. They dragged him from here to the moon. During the 100 heat of the Olympics, Americans were actively rooting against him. That is, Americans were wishing that he doesn’t win the gold medal.
He finished second in the semifinals and Americans on IG were celebrating. They were saying “Sheybi he wants to be world champion, let’s see how he’ll do it.”
Well, 30 minutes ago, he became the fastest man in the world by winning the 100 meters gold medal. I’m cooking Americans on IG right now.

While Noah Lyles walked away with gold to bury the demons of the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, when he harvested a mere 200m bronze, he will have one more battle in his favoured men’s 200m.

Asked whether he was confident of doubling up in the 200m, an event in which he is a three-time world champion, Lyles was in no doubt.

“100 percent,” he said.

“That’s my better event and now that I’ve got a new personal record in the 100, I’m ready to take it to the 200.”

How Noah Lyles won the 100m race

 

Here’s how the race unfolded:

Starting in lane seven, outside Oblique Seville of South Africa and inside Letsile Tebogo of Botswana, Lyles got off to an average start, but was soon into his stride pattern.

Head tucked down through to the 40-metre mark, the American opened up, but the whole field pushed him all the way.

As Lyles dipped for the line with Jamaican Kishane Thompson charging alongside him, the crowd erupted and a photo-finish was called before Lyles was confirmed as gold medallist.

Lyles’s US teammate Fred Kerley took bronze in 9.81sec, just one-hundredth ahead of South African Akani Simbine, who timed 9.82sec.

In an astonishing race, defending champion Marcell Jacobs of Italy was fifth in 9.85sec, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo sixth in 9.86sec, American Kenny Bednarek seventh in 9.88sec and Jamaican Oblique Seville eighth in 9.91sec.

Lyles’ victory was only confirmed after a photo finish.
