SAINT-DENIS, France — Noah Lyles’ historic pursuit of an Olympic sprint double ended with a humbling defeat.
The world’s most unbeatable 200 meters runner, the man who just four days ago insisted he’d leave his rivals “depressed” when he came off the turn, lost his signature race.
Lyles didn’t appear to have his usual burst right from the start of Thursday night’s Olympic men’s 200 meters final. The American fell behind early and struggled to make up ground rounding the turn, leaving himself too far behind Letsile Tebogo of Botswana to overtake him before they reached the finish line.
Tebogo won in 19.46 seconds. American Kenny Bednarek claimed silver in 19.62 seconds Lyles settled for bronze in 19.70 seconds.
