My first top 4 in ESL EU East, 3rd place with 6-0, all run with my Baraka (blood lunge and leg kabob), only final match against yuvility with baraka barrage, spine burst and leg kabob to win against his jacqui. See you tomorrow!
On @NightcapShow_ with @ShannonSharpe and @ochocinco, 100m Olympic champion and 200m Olympic bronze medalist @LylesNoah opened up about when he got COVID at the Olympics.
Here's what he said:
“Now looking back, there were signs on the day of the final of the 100m that this was taking too much energy to produce what I normally produce. I just threw it to the side. Then, I wake up the next day and it’s Monday now after the finals and I have a sore throat. I’m thinking, ‘OK. Maybe I just cheered a little too much. Maybe I was yelling a little too much.’ Even though I didn’t really feel like I was I just put it off to that because I had a job to do.
It wasn’t until I woke up in the middle of the night on Tuesday morning and my body was aching. I’ve got chills. I’ve got a headache. My sinuses are running. My throat is super sore. I’m like, ‘Oh no. These are all the signs I get before I get COVID.’ I called up the doctors in that moment and said, ‘We need to test. We need to test now.’
Lyles went on to add:
“I had a plan before I got to the 200m and now my plan is out the window. Right now, I’m just trying to get as healthy as possible. They put me on the COVID medication…I’m trying to go through warmups and trying to get as normal as possible each round. I’m trying to throw away any negative thought that I have and keeping that confidence and that idea believing I’m in the shape of my life.”
Sharpe asked whether Lyles ever considered pulling out of the race:
“Yeah, that was a conversation. While I was getting tested, I was talking to the Team USA doctors and they were telling me what the rules are. They changed them from Tokyo. They said that anyone who has COVID is allowed to compete. It’s up to the governing body of their sport or their country to decide how they want to handle the COVID situation.
I’m just going to let you know, there were a lot of people in the village who had COVID that just didn’t say it. I’m just the most popular person who got COVID and actually said I had it. Because of that, it stirs up a lot of controversy in itself.
As soon as I heard I got COVID and I was able to compete, I said ‘I am going to try.’ I’m not promised tomorrow, so I’m going to take advantage of what I have today. The fact that I was able to get to the finals and still grab bronze, that was a medal I could’ve easily just said ‘Nah I got the gold, I’m good.’ No! I’m here now, I fought for this for 4 years. I trained for this for 4 years. Why not take the opportunity?”
