Noah Lyles Video Mocking Canada Resurfaces After They Win Olympic Gold
On Friday, Team USA was disqualified from the 4x100m relay final at the 2024 Paris Olympics without their star athlete, Noah Lyles, participating in the race due to COVID-19. In this race, four runners run 100 meters each with a baton, handing the baton off to the next runner within a 30-meter changeover box.
A poor handoff between starting runner Christian Coleman and Kenny Bednarek led to the team’s disqualification as the baton was passed from one athlete to another just outside of the changeover box.
It wouldn’t have mattered if it was a good handoff because the USA came in seventh place. Canada wound up winning the race with a final time of 37.50 seconds.
After the race, a video of Lyles mocking Canada’s 4x100m team has resurfaced online with 800,000 views at the time of this article. Following the World Relays in Spring, when asked if he saw Canada as a threat, Lyles laughed it off.
“Who? Who?,” Lyles repeated.
Canada got the last laugh as they brought home the gold in the very same race Lyles teased them in, while Team USA didn’t get an official finish.
The Canadian 4x100m team is led by Andre De Grasse and also includes Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake and Brendon Rodney. De Grasse has won seven total Olympic medals between Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024, two of which are gold.
At the men’s 200-meter final on Thursday, Lyles (27) secured the bronze medal with a time of 19.70 seconds. Following the race, Lyles appeared visibly drained and had to be assisted off the track in a wheelchair. It was disclosed by his mother that Lyles had competed in the event despite being diagnosed with COVID-19 just two days earlier.

However, Lyles did win a gold medal at the men’s 100-meter race on Sunday, August 4, just beating out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by five-thousandths of a second.
