‘I can eat it and I am still okay’ - Gabby Thomas slams fans who harshly judge athletes for having a sweet treat
Triple Olympics champion Gabby Thomas has hit out at fans who criticize athletes over their dietary choices, especially when they indulged in sugary stuff that many consider unhealthy.
The 27-year-old American sprinter has never been shy about his confidence, and his latest appearance on Sprint shows just how self-assured he was heading into the race that crowned him as the world’s fastest man.

'I felt like I was going backward'-Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone opens up about her struggles before Olympic success
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is one of the few American track stars whose journey reveals resilience, triumph, and breaking world records.
The 2024 Paris Olympics marked a new milestone for Lyles, who clinched the gold in the 100m final with a nail-biting finish.
His time of 9.79 seconds edged out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by a razor-thin margin of 0.005 seconds, with Thompson clocking in at 9.79 as well.
“Everybody wants to be the fastest man in the world,” Lyles reflected.
“People see you as a superhero. Now I go into a room and it’s ‘fastest man in the world, champ.’”
While his 100m victory was awe-inspiring, his performance in the 200m at the Paris Games did not match the expectations he set in Budapest the previous year, where he won the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay in a remarkable triple feat.

‘He is Jamaican from now’ - Noah Lyles excites fans after ‘beating’ fiancé Junelle Bromfield in dancehall challenge
Olympics 100m champion Noah Lyles delighted Jamaican fans after getting one over his fiancé Junelle Bromfield in a dancehall challenge.
In Paris, a bout of COVID-19 prevented Lyles from participating in the relay events and may have affected his physical state, leading to his third-place finish in the 200m.
Despite his multiple golds in recent years, these factors may have contributed to his exclusion from the prestigious 2024 World Athlete of the Year Award nomination list, a decision that left fans and analysts alike surprised.
In Lyles’s absence, the award nominations featured other Olympic standouts, such as Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo and Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

Noah Lyles: The untold humility behind a bold Olympic champion
Many associate Noah Lyles with bold confidence, yet behind his Olympic success lies a story of resilience and quiet humility, shaped by struggles that reveal the heart of a true champion.
Tebogo’s debut Olympic performance saw him capturing gold in the 200m and silver in the 4x400m relay, while Ingebrigtsen defended his Olympic gold in the 5000m.
Although Lyles’s accomplishments in Paris were impressive, his missed 200m gold and absence from the relays ultimately put him at a disadvantage against athletes who shined across multiple events.
