Noah Lyles, the reigning world champion in the 200-meter race, exuded an unparalleled level of confidence leading up to the event. As the top-ranked runner in this distance and having secured back-to-back world championship titles in the 200m, Lyles made bold statements asserting his dominance. Following his victory in the 100-meter race, Lyles declared with unwavering certainty that he would emerge victorious in the 200-meter race as well.
His confidence was palpable as he boldly stated, 'I'll be winning,' and dismissed his competitors by asserting, 'None of them are winning.' Lyles went on to express his belief that his performance would leave his opponents feeling despondent as he confidently proclaimed, 'When I come off the turn, they will be depressed.'
However, despite his pre-race bravado, Lyles' post-race condition raised concerns as he was seen lying on the track immediately after the event concluded, prompting the need for medical attention. Sources have reached out to USA Track and Field for further information regarding Lyles' well-being and the nature of the medical attention he received.
