Noah Lyles was DENIED the gold medal. He angrily accused the organizers of squeezing him out and stripping him of his competition rights, citing ‘insufficient stamina to finish the race

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.

Following the controversial Men’s 200m Olympic final, social media was buzzing with opinions on the BBC presenters’ analysis of Noah Lyles’ performance. It was clear that many viewers were not satisfied with the explanations given for Lyles’ loss to Tebogo in the race. Despite the initial predictions pointing towards Lyles as the favourite, it was Tebogo who surprised everyone with his outstanding performance and new African record. The scrutiny from fans only intensified after four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson expressed doubts about Lyles’ fitness post-race. Johnson’s comments on Lyles’ potential illness affecting his performance sparked further debate among viewers. Some viewers felt that the focus on Lyles’ potential health issues was unnecessary and took away from Tebogo’s well-deserved victory.As discussions continued online, revelations of Noah Lyles testing positive for Covid-19 raised more questions about his participation in the race. Concerns about the potential risk of Lyles spreading the virus to other athletes were brought to light, leading to a debate on whether he should have been allowed to compete in the first place.The aftermath of the Men’s 200m final shed a new light on the complexities of sports competition, especially in the midst of a global pandemic. The drama surrounding Noah Lyles’ performance and subsequent Covid-19 diagnosis added another layer of intrigue to an already thrilling competition.
