Lyles, who was hoping to achieve a 100m-200m double in Paris, was taken off the track in a wheelchair following the 200m final. He revealed later he had tested positive for COVID.

00:00Now I'm very proud of this one. This might be my favorite medal that I have so far.
00:06I've never been in such a harder battle.
00:09You know, I thought when I was going through depression that was, you know, a very hard battle.
00:13But even then I wasn't satisfied because I feel like I could have handled the situation better.
00:17But here I was, I was, you know, back at the Olympics and, you know,
00:22I'm just waking up in the middle of the night feeling horrible and, you know, getting tested.
00:26And still, even despite hearing that, you know, I have COVID, all I could think of in my head was,
00:32I can still do this. I can still get this. We can still get the job done.
00:36And I knew it was going to be an uphill fight, but I mean, that's my whole life.
