Noah Lyles, after collapsing post-200m Olympics race, disclosed he had Covid, which made him reflect on his performance and personal pressures associated with the Games.
I can only constantly just think what if. What if I didn't get [Covid]? That feeling weighs heavily on Lyles as he re-evaluates his Olympic experience.
Lyles aspired to become the first American man in four decades to win gold in both the 100m and 200m, amidst the pressures of past failures.
The pressure he felt wasn't only self-imposed; it stemmed from his experience at the Tokyo Olympics, where he felt limited by the context of the Games.
