Noah Lyles has revealed why he was afraid of losing the 100m final to Kishane Thompson at the Paris Olympic Games.
Triple world champion Noah Lyles has explained the reason behind his fear of losing the men’s 100m final at the Paris Olympic Games and it had nothing to do with his family or coach.
The reigning Olympic 100m champion revealed that when he crossed the finish line and there was no replay of the race, he thought he had lost the race and started thinking about what he would tell the media.
He revealed that facing the media after losing was one of the things that he was afraid of and it immediately clicked when he crossed the finish line in the tight race.

‘He had no chance’- Usain Bolt claps back at Michael Johnson's claims he would never have beaten him in the 200m
Usain Bolt has hit back at Michael Johnsn's claims that the American would have obliterated him had both athletes ever gotten the chance to compete.
Luckily, he won the race, by five-thousandths of a second ahead of Kishane Thompson but they both clocked 9.79 seconds. Fred Kerley sealed the podium, clocking 9.81 seconds.
“At the back of my mind I was like, ‘I’m going to have to swallow my pride like they are going to have a field day with me. The media was basically going to have a field day…I mean, in a joking way, I built up a story,” Noah Lyles said in an interview on the Toure show.
He revealed that his coach, Lance Brauman and mother, Keisha Caine Bishop would understand if he lost but the media would not.

Harambee Stars: 5 players whose places are at risk under new coach Benni McCarthy
New Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy will begin his Kenyan assignment with 2026 World Cup qualifiers this month but which players risk missing out?
Noah Lyles further pointed out that his support system, including his fiancée Junelle Bromfield, knew that he always gives his all and they would not question his performance no matter what happened.
“I give 120%, I give everything I have…there's no point where I’m not going to give everything so I’m not really worried about my coach thinking that I didn’t give enough or that I didn’t try hard enough or the same with my mother or even myself,” Noah Lyles explained.
“I know I’m always going to give everything I have from the day that I start the season or even two seasons ago. The only thing I thought about was kind of, ah man, I’m going to have to deal with the media.”

South African Benni McCarthy playfully shares concerns as he takes charge of Harambee Stars
The three-time world 200m champion added that the media have played a crucial role in helping him make a name for himself and he would have no choice but to face them.
Noah Lyles did not have a choice like other sprinters, who after losing a race would pass the media center without feeling like they owe anyone an explanation.
“The reason why I think about them is because I use them to create a story because I always think along the lines of why let somebody tell your story when you can lead them to tell it. It’s creating the story and creating the excitement,” Noah Lyles shared.
In the 200m, Noah Lyles was also hoping to win the race but ended up settling for a bronze medal behind Letsile Tebogo and Kenny Bednarek who came in first and second, respectively.
After the race, he confirmed that he had tested positive for COVID hence the poor show but vowed to be back, stronger and ready for revenge in the 2025 season.
