Noah Lyles is sadly bowing out of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

On Thursday (August 8), the 27-year-old Team USA athlete competed in the 200-meter race, just two days after testing positive for COVID-19.

He ended up winning bronze, but had to be taken off the track in a wheelchair.

Hours later, Noah announced that his Olympics journey was over as he continued to battle COVID.

“I believe this will be the end of my 2024 Olympics. It is not the Olympic I dreamed of but it has left me with so much Joy in my heart,” Noah continued. “I hope everyone enjoyed the show. Whether you were rooting for me or against me, you have to admit you watched, didn’t you? ???? See you next time.”
