Lyles update
Speaking after claiming bronze in the men’s 200m, Lyles spoke to NBC, he said: “I woke up about 5am on Tuesday morning and was feeling really horrible. I knew it was more than being sore from the 100m. We woke up the doctors and tested, and unfortunately it came up that I was positive for Covid.
“My first thought was not to panic. I’ve been in worse situations, I’ve run with worse conditions I’ve felt. We just took it day by day, tried to hydrate, quarantined off and I would definitely say it’s taken it’s toll for sure.
“But I’ve never been more proud of myself to come out here and get a bronze medal. Last Olympics I was very disappointed and this time I couldn’t be more proud.”
Any thought of not running?
“No. We were just going to try and quarantine as much as possible, stay away, not pass it off and give it my all. If I wasn’t to make it and somebody was able to take my spot, that would’ve been my sign that I didn’t deserve to be in the final.”
Relays?
“At the moment, I don’t know. I’m feeling more on the side of letting Team USA do their thing. They’re proven with great certainty that they can handle it without me. If that’s the case coming off of today, I’m perfectly fine with saying “you guys do your thing, you guys have speed to be able to get the gold medal.”
