Lyles, despite a recent COVID-19 diagnosis and noticeable exhaustion, managed to secure a bronze medal in the 200-meter final at the Stade de France. His effort was particularly commendable given the circumstances leading up to the race, according to the New York Post. After a victorious run in the 100-meter final, becoming the first Team USA athlete to win gold in this event in 20 years, Lyles woke up Tuesday feeling unwell.
