Public Outrage Follows U.S. Team’s Justification of Noah Lyles’s 200m Final Loss with ‘Covid Virus’ Blame: ‘Why Compete if Covid Was an Issue?’

After the highly-anticipated Men’s 200m Olympic final, BBC viewers took to social media to criticise the presenters after they analysed why Noah Lyles didn’t win gold.

BBC fans have slammed the Olympics pundits after they analysed why American sprinter Noah Lyles didn’t win gold in the Men’s 200m Olympic final.

The highly-anticipated race, which was tipped to be won by Noah, was actually won by Botswana runner Tebogo who stunned watchers with 19.46 seconds and set a new African record.

After the race, four-time Olympic gold medallist athlete Michael Johnson was convinced that Lyles was not fit for the race.

He said on the BBC: “He certainly isn’t carrying an injury because you can’t do this with an injury, you can’t run 19.70.

“If there’s anything, there’s some sort of illness that has zapped his energy from the ability to actually carry that speed all the way through.”

Many fans took to social media to have their say on the race, with many saying “stop making excuses” for Noah Lyles.

One person said on X: “How utterly disingenuous #BBCOlympics has been to the winner of 200m men’s final. All excuses for the American. Damned by faint praise to the winner. #Paris2024.”

A second fan also chimed in: “Tebogo won the race folks, stop making excuses for Lyles.”

A third fan also typed: “Tebogo beat Lyles easily, end of story, typical of the BBC to bang on about the American #BBCOlympics.”

However, shortly after the race concluded it was revealed from US Track and Field that Noah had tested positive for Covid-19. Some fans then questioned why Noah was allowed to compete.

One person wrote online: “If he has Covid, why was he allowed to run, he could give it to other athletes? Very sceptical about this, he still run very fast. i doubt I could run 200m in 10 mins if I had Covid #BBCOlympics.”

Four days earlier, Noah won the Men’s 100m final by five-thousandths of a second in a dramatic finale.

In a remarkable photo finish, all eight sprinters finished within 0.12secs of the gold medal, making it the fastest race in history as they all had run under 10 seconds.

After the dramatic Men’s 200m Olympic final, there was no shortage of opinions on social media regarding Noah Lyles’ unexpected loss. Viewers criticized the BBC presenters for making excuses for the American sprinter, with many questioning why he seemed off his game. Despite being the favorite to win, Noah was outshone by Tebogo, a runner from Botswana, who broke the African record with a time of 19.46 seconds.Criticism poured in on social media, with many calling out the BBC for allegedly downplaying Tebogo’s well-deserved victory. Fans were quick to point out that excuses shouldn’t overshadow the fact that Tebogo simply ran a better race and emerged victorious. It was clear that the focus should have been on celebrating the winner rather than dissecting Noah’s performance.However, the plot thickened when it was revealed that Noah had tested positive for Covid-19 after the race. This revelation raised further questions about his participation and whether he posed a risk to other athletes. Some skeptics questioned the legitimacy of his performance, wondering how he could still achieve such impressive results despite being infected with the virus.Noah’s previous victory in the Men’s 100m final only added to the intrigue surrounding his sudden decline in performance. The photo finish in that race was one for the ages, with all eight sprinters crossing the finish line within a fraction of a second. The sheer competitiveness of the race made it one of the fastest in history, showcasing the incredible talent and determination of the athletes involved.As we continue to bring you the latest updates and insights, we hope to inspire and inform our readers with valuable content.
