Days after clinching the Olympic title in the men’s 100-meter dash, Noah Lyles was carted away from the track after failing to complete the sprint double. It was then revealed he had recently been diagnosed with COVID-19.
After crossing the line third in the 200 meters for the second straight Olympics, Lyles fell to his back and eventually sat up to be tended to by medical staff.
In an interview after the race, Lyles confirmed he had been diagnosed with COVID two days earlier.
