'One of the scariest moments of my life' - Noah Lyles' mum recalls helpless moment of watching her son gasp for air after 200m final
Following her son's collapse on the track struggling to breathe after Paris 2024 Olympics 200m final, Noah Lyles' mum finally opens up on the helpless situation, which was one of the scariest moments of her life.
“You can look at LeBron James, one of the greatest basketball players, you can look at Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson - anybody who you want to say is great, there's always going to be love, and there's always going to be hate, because people are going to form opinions, because you're now so high up there that they can't see you as everyday people of everyday society.
“And I knew that going into that, and that's just what it is, but I'm very confident in myself to say no matter what anybody says, I know who I am."
On why he chose to compete at the Olympics despite his health issues, Lyles said:
)
"That's why people are like, well, if you were sick, why did you go out there and jump around? It's like, if I didn't do that, I would not have been able to encourage myself enough to get excited to run the race.
“I had to go in tricking my mind and my body that I was going to run just as well as any other day as I was going to run that, but that's the only stuff a champion would know."
Following that third-place finish in the 200m, gold medallist Letsile Tebogo labelled Lyles "arrogant and loud," but the American continues to insist he is just misunderstood.
