Olympic heroes like Noah Lyles are going for the only gold that matters: The one in League of Legends

PARIS, FRANCE - AUGUST 04: Noah Lyles of Team United States celebrates winning the gold medal after competing the Men's 100m Final on day nine of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de France on August 04, 2024 in Paris, France.

Noah Lyles is, essentially, a superhero. The sprinter has enough gold medals to his name to establish his own personal Bretton Woods system, and he's just cinched another one—in the men's 100 metres—at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

But whatever, because our man's got his eye on the actual prize: getting past all this running nonsense and getting down to real sport of champions—League of Legends (via NME). Lyles mentioned his passion for League in a recent Twitter exchange. Spanish Olympic canoeist Pau Echaniz tweeted that he wouldn't "get on a canoe until I reach gold," alongside a photo of the League client on a gaming laptop, placed conspicuously next to his Paris bronze medal for the men's kayak single.
