Noah Lyles has become a polarizing figure during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite celebrating Team USA’s basketball gold with a night out at L’Arc Club in Paris, his recent actions have sparked backlash.
After experiencing both triumph and defeat, winning gold in the 100m and faltering in the 200m final, Lyles posted a negative COVID test and headed out, raising eyebrows.
Just hours after sharing his health update, Lyles was seen enjoying himself, which drew mixed reactions online. One user humorously commented on his swift recovery post-200m event and subsequent nightclub appearance.
Lyles’ Olympic journey has been tumultuous, with his reaction to the 200m outcome and previous comments about being a “world champion” stirring discontent among fans and fellow athletes. Despite these controversies, he didn’t hesitate to celebrate his and Team USA’s successes that Saturday night, ensuring his followers knew he was COVID-free.
This night at L’Arc Paris was not without further incident; other celebrities faced scrutiny, adding to the overall fervor of the evening.
