Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles admits he thought Kishane Thompson had crossed the finish line first in the Men's 100m final at the Paris games. One day after earning his first Olympic gold medal in a thrilling 100-meter final, the American speedster continued his quest to pull off the rare accomplishment of winning three golds in three sprint events at a single Games.
Lyles, said there were few celebrations during his gold-medal night. He spent it speaking with media, fulfilling a mandatory post-race drug test, and slipping into boyfriend mode. "So here I am at 2 a.m., waddling with a spike bag, my bag and some toiletries, and I'm like, 'Huh. Here I am, Olympics champion, 100 meters, waddling to my girlfriend's room with all this stuff,'" Lyles said, laughing.Bromfield qualified out of her opening-round 400-meter heat, finishing third in 51.36 seconds.
If Lyles wins gold in Thursday night's 200 finals, he will have taken care of the second event on the sprint triple list. A gold medal as part of the U.S. men's 4x100 relay team Friday, and he will have completed it.
