Noah Lyles, the U.S. 100-meter champion proclaimed by many to be the fastest man in the world, won bronze in the men’s 200-meter race on Wednesday while stricken with COVID, according to reports.
“Noah Lyles confirmed he tested positive for COVID at 5am Tuesday morning Paris time,” ESPN’s Coley Harvey wrote on X. “He kept this close to the vest.” Didn’t want competitors to know he was sick. His mom, medical staff knew he had it. He quarantined at a hotel the last few nights. He was going to run regardless
