  1. There is no such thing as ⁠an off year for Noah Lyles, as the Olympic gold medalist cruised through the opening heats of the 100 meters at the U.S. championships, hungry to fit more competition into ​his calendar. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/0 #moresports #noahlyles

  2. Olympic silver medalist Kishane Thompson will not run in the 100 meters at the Lausanne Diamond League on Wednesday, with shin discomfort preventing another showdown with Noah Lyles. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/0 #moresports #kishanethompson #noahlyles #sprinting #100m

  3. High-profile athletes are increasingly broadcasting their fascination with anime, creating a fraternity inside locker rooms as they lovingly dissect their favorite animated Japanese shows and films. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/0 #moresports #anime #jamaalwilliams #noahlyles #mylesgarrett #pokemon #dragonballz

  4. I think Noah Lyles is an idiot. He could have gotten gold if he wore a mask the last few weeks.

  5. “No Olympic athletes are going to get Long Covid! It’s been 4 years and I don’t know anyone who has Long Covid!”

    Yes. You do. Many people don’t disclose their disabilities for fear of ableist backlash. Others don’t connect the dots and may not realize they have Long Covid.

    The sad reality is that like many other chronic illnesses - Long Covid is poorly recognized and likely underdiagnosed. Many patients are dismissed with “anxiety” by doctors who don’t understand the nature of these conditions.

    Others can’t afford to seek healthcare as they’ve already lost work/income due to being chronically ill. Some may not have safe access to healthcare due to lack of masking and clean air in hospitals. They KNOW they’re sick but can’t risk re-infection.

    There’s also people who are suffering from Long Covid and don’t realize it. They either can’t connect the dots (due to denial or lack of information) or they’ve convinced themselves it’s just “aging” or “stress”.

    It’s alarming how many people in their 20s & 30s are writing off very serious physical symptoms as “getting older.” You shouldn’t be too exhausted to function in your twenties. Everything shouldn’t hurt. You should be able to smell your food. You shouldn’t be sick all the time.

    Then there’s those who know they have Long Covid - but choose to keep it quiet from friends and family. Ableism runs incredibly deep in our society - and when you admit to being chronically ill you may find yourself judged, ridiculed, disbelieved or abandoned.

    Many chronic illnesses are invisible - you won’t KNOW someone has them unless they CHOOSE to tell you. Ppl in my life had no idea I was disabled until I began advocating for disability rights. I could hide symptoms well enough to not tip them off & I didn’t volunteer the info.

    Looking back I’m embarrassed by how long it took me to publicly admit I was disabled. The fear I had about sharing it is an indictment of how cruel people can be. Everyone preaches tolerance & acceptance - but few actually practice that in real life.

    There’s also an extra stigma associated with Long Covid because it forces people to think about a period in their lives they’re desperately trying to forget. It challenges the narrative that we’re “back to normal”.

    I lost many friends and loved ones when they found out I was sick. Some losses were immediate and brutal - people who carelessly tossed me by the wayside because they instantly put me into the “less than” category.

    Other losses were slower and more painful - because they involved false hope. They were the ones who stuck around at first - who applauded me for telling them the truth & offered help and support.

    Many did help - until they stopped. They almost all stop eventually. 1/2

  6. In today's story on @medium, I discuss the decision of U.S. sprinter #NoahLyles to compete while infected with #COVID19.

  7. "O fato de sair de cadeiras de rodas mostra o quanto a mialgia (dor muscular) gerada pela #Covid19 foi forte. Isso não é exemplo de #superação, mas, sim, uma #irresponsabilidade. Outra questão é o fato da Covid-19 ser altamente transmissível. Neste caso, todos que tiveram contato com #NoahLyles podem estar infectados e com risco também."

  8. Imani Barbarin gets right to the heart of the issue of Olympians competing while Covid positive:

    “Once again this is a story of Americans celebrating someone overcoming a systemic failure - Covid IS a systemic failure from the top down.”

    Couldn’t agree more. This is not an inspirational moment. His life & career were put at risk when he raced. The health of other athletes, medics, volunteers etc was also put at risk.

    Normalize resting when sick!

  9. I have thoughts about #NoahLyles, #covid and the #olympics.

    He tested positive on Tuesday. The American coaches and medical team knew he was positive for Covid, but the still did not implement masks or isolation.

    They intentionally exposed other athletes and their teams to a potentially deadly virus for no reason other than we wanted another medal.

    Is it amazing that Noah ran like that with covid? Yeah, it absolutely is. He’s amazing. But he was also a contamination vector that should have been in isolation.

    Covid isn’t over. There are mitigation protocols, which when followed, significantly reduce the risk to the sufferer and everyone around them. Protocols were ignored, in the most careless bullshit American way possible. And media is celebrating this, like a premier athlete being taken away by wheelchair (without masks) is a triumph of some sort.

    Fucking exceptionalism will kill us all.

  10. American Noah Lyles said that his Paris Games are over, hours after he needed medical attention following his shock third-place finish in the 200-meter sprint. It was later revealed he tested positive for COIVD-19. japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2024 #olympics #us #noahlyles #2024parisolympics

  11. Botswana's Letsile Tebogo was the toast of Africa after winning the Olympic 200-meter gold on Thursday but his immediate thoughts were much closer to home as he dedicated his victory to his mother, who died in May. japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2024 #olympics #letsiletebogo #botswana #africa #2024parisolympics #noahlyles #us
