Worth noting that Noah has run faster than 19.46 once in his entire career. I really believe that even a fit Noah was going to struggle to beat Tebogo today, he was a man on a mission.

[@friedhotwings]

Lol, no. Noah ran the fastest 100m of his life a few days ago before getting covid (9.79) He ran 19.31 two years ago and he’s increased his flat speed since picking up the 100. A healthy Lyles is smoking Tebogo like he usually does.

You should watch Rae's Take. He was told that Noah Lyles was sick before the semi finals yesterday. Multiple channels had already posted Noah Lyles being sick before the finals. Tebogo even said that he saw Noah wearing a mask and sitting by himself in the call room before semi finals on his post press conference. Even Noah's biggest hater Erin Brown said that Noah was sick after his semi finals.

It’s just seen as the flu or a cold, instead of something new and volatile. That does not mean you can’t get all the symptoms you would get from a flu, fever, cough, soreness in your joints etc. In a game of hundreds and thousands, even havin a cold will affect your performance and recovery to some degree. Noah would have had to be 100% to even have a chance to beat Tebogo, who set an amazing time and basically ran a time only Lyles have ever bested. Congratz to Tebogo, possibly a future GOAT. In 4 years Noah will be past 30 and Tebogo will only have just turned 25.

This was Deja vu from Tokyo: a likeable and soft spoken non-American upsets Lyles alongside Kenny B while Knighton finishes 4th. Even Lyles’ time was pretty much the same. It is a very real possibility that Lyles will never win the Olympic gold in the 200m, which really hurts his case when we’re talking about the greatest 200m athletes in history.

If people realise that Noah only ran a better time than 19.46s once in his life 2yrs ago when he was in that fast Oregon track and he was 25yrs then you should know covid or no covid chances of beating Tebogo were next to zero then we wouldn’t be having these what ifs

[@jackreaves8761]

We have no idea what would have happened if Noah Lyles had been fully healthy, but frankly, I do not care; the end result was Letsile Tebogo winning the gold medal in the men's 200m, period. Tebogo's performance was a testament to his talent and determination, and he is poised to replicate his success in Paris by adding the 400m to his repertoire. I suspect he will compete in all three sprint events (100, 200, 400)and the relays (4 x 100 and 4 x 400), which would be unprecedented, but he certainly has the fitness and versatility to accomplish this. Tebogo's approach is reminiscent of the training strategies used by distance runners preparing for marathons and 10,000m races, emphasizing endurance and adaptability. Training for multiple events is a significant challenge, but Tebogo has demonstrated that this strategy can work effectively. We've seen similar success from athletes like Allyson Felix, Michael Johnson, and Gabby Thomas, who have excelled in multiple events. Congratulations to Tebogo, and we eagerly anticipate how our U.S. athletes will respond. With their proven track record, I'm confident they will rise to the occasion. Additionally, seeing some of our US 400m runners consider training for the 800m would be interesting. From experience, while the 800m requires more strategic execution, it shares similarities with the 400m in terms of pacing and endurance, potentially offering a new avenue for success. Think Athing Mu when she is healthy.

[@SincereLove810]

I don't understand why some of you keep saying Noah put all of his efforts into the 100. They ran the finals for the 100 on Sunday 8/4. They started running the 200 on 8/5, 8/7, and 8/8.He ran no other races during that time. That is more than enough time to rest. I could see if we were in high school State finals where I ran 2 100m races, 2 200m races, plus both 4x100 and 4x200 races in one day, that's 6 races in one day. Then ran the final 100 and 200 the next day.

That type of motivation is extremely hard to beat if it's focused. Noah has to be stunned and humbled by this loss for sure. I thought he had this in the bag and obviously like him, I was dead wrong. Congratulations to Kung Fu Kenny! Quicksilver should be his nickname. Being a Silver Medalist in the world of track is a very honorable position and nothing to be ashamed of. I thought I saw a slight smile on his face when he realized that he'd beaten Noah! That's really all that mattered to him. He beat Noah again in the Olympics.

I wouldn't count out Noah for a Gold Medal in the 200m in LA since it's still 4 years away and many things can transpire between now and then.

But if he won, Noah wouldn’t mention anything about Covid. Sore loser.

Do you think that Tebogo will be running the 4x400m final?

[@briantshepoholmes6016]

100% bro. The issue is where do we place him…

[@atarsebele22]

and he did compete. today.. Amazing run he put out there

[@briantshepoholmes6016]

@@drtslim Coach put him on anchor and he almost closed the show on the USA. 3rd fastest split of all time.

[@blackcurlmagicgrey-sloan8640]

I’m not buying the covid excuse. Being that hype and leaving in a wheelchair like paul Pierce was ridiculous. If In fact he did have covid, when did he find out?? If he knew prior to running that’s selfish as hell

[@colleendaly654]

I Tebogo wining and Kenny

[@garfieldthompson2606]

How can you have covid and have that extravagant entry. Excuses. Plus if he had covid why would he put the other person in harm's way.

[@colleendaly654]

Noah had COVID then he shouldn’t have participated… CoVID symptoms fatigue

[@shelly3120]

Covid doesn't affect you like that again a shame Noah shame 😂😂

@@shelly3120lol it does😂. I currently have COVID, yes COVID and the fatigue and shortness of breath one of the symptoms. Noah shouldn’t have ran, PERIOD.

@@Sibby496 I'm sorry to hear that you have COVID,but If Noah was not sick,he would have still got whooped by Tebogo 🤣

Lyles is a big 27 year old man, making excuses like he’s a toddler. I can’t wait until he retires or has to stop due to injury. Track was better before him and it will be palatable again only once he’s gone.

[@Faustin-ju5dx]

"i can't wait for him to be injured" wtf??

He is childish

Noah tried to win the 200 with COVID to further his trash talk and it back fired

[@niccilondon1607]

Now u know he ain’t have no Covid til he lost!!!….Did u forget how he was jumping around b4 the race started! PLEASE!!!

[@colleendaly654]

Thanks for this video

[@shelly3120]

Shelly always says everyone's a threat when you lined up to compete,but not Noah, Noah think the gold is his 😂

[@seensay2132]

What medal did Shelly win this year?

[@runwithyaz]

This is why y’all have to learn lessons the hard way. A woman with 5 Olympic appearances and 4 Olympic 100m medals drops some wisdom and your retort is what did she win this year. Let’s see if Noah even makes it to a fifth Olympic Games. I doubt it.

[@geraldinemoss2380]

Doesn't everyone who steps on the track, if anyone show up not to win is a fool.

[@shelly3120]

@@seensay2132 did I said Shelly won a medal?go back and read my statement, because if you did you wouldn't have said what you said 🤣

Congratulations Tobogo! Kenny know how tp show up. Noah, maybe another day.

[@jaribumapinduzi]

Great reporting Brother! Point of order Black men in America are African too. So Africans have consistently won the 200 meters since 1932. Letsili Tobogo is an extension of that.

[@geraldinemoss2380]

People still dance on this Covid tune, he simply doesn’t feel well, he will be back end of story.

[@eliasmilborn2280]

Interesting note, Lyles ran potentially his fastest ever first 100m (10.18s). Really hope Noah and Letsile battle it out on the Diamond League or even in the DL final.

[@ThaboMathasheneMonoto]

What were Tebogo and Kenny's first 100 ? They came out flying!

[@Faustin-ju5dx]

he ran 10.07 in his 19.31

[@DG-iu8ck]

Honestly as soon as i found out lyles new he had covid on Tuesday i was mad he put others in danger of getting covid im british and one of our swimmers got covid after the race and pulled out of his last race for me lyles should have pulled out as it's selfish and gives zero respect to others as some of those other runners in the 200 will be running the 400 and 100 relays and lyles could have made them ill then ruined there chances of racing again

[@nyawoods4343]

Lyles is a darn liar

[@edgarsomerville9158]

I actually called it exactly with father hype getting third , lyles needs to learn humility

[@minavamp2811]

even if noah could compete in both relays, they won't let him, because there will be a lot of blow back, saying that he would put a lot of people at risk, so the usa team will not let him compete even if he wanted to.

[@JuniorWright-ox7up]

Noah Lyles would be so Hyped because of His High level of Fear,at the start line u can see it in his eyes...Noah Fears alot of other Athletes that are out there

[@mellymelly9415]

Good Show💔

[@eddiemeadows9003]

Lyles is SUPER SPECIAL, because he has proven it again and again by winning the 200m repeatedly, the 100m olympics finals 🥇 crowned KING 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
