On āLyles takes gold in the 100m with 4 thousandths of a second ahead of Thompson. 9.79ā
I'll link this bolt interview for my exact thoughts on the race. (Go to 6min mark).
Lyles confidence is an unmatched secret weapon. It's crazy because he's spoken at length about it and still it's overlooked. His mental game was his ultimate defeat in Tokyo. That was confirmed in his 19.5x he ran right after it. Fitness wasn't the problem; his mental health was.
Nobody can doubt him anymore. When he says he's gonna do something, he does it.
He has a remarkable opportunity to complete the OLY triple which he haven't seen since the greats Usain Bolt and Elaine Thompson-Herah
