A fan posted, saying, “They cheated Kishane!!!”Lyles was given an unfair edge, according to a different fan, who said, “They put him in that easy ass semi final so he could conserve his energy.” Kishane was duped by them.”

Fred Kerley, on the other hand, finished third with a solid 9.81 seconds.

’ speculations, after Noah Lyles bagged the gold

You can still see his foot crossing in front of Noah’s chest despite the slowdown. Teif dem teif hm.
Beyond simple disbelief, one of the supporters went a little further. They said, “They pushed for Noah to win that race,” sensing that Lyles may be the favourite to win. For Noah Lyles, they cheated (LIES.) Thompson Kishane obtained the gold medal. The fastest man in the world, who ruined Jamaica in the first place, came in second.It’s interesting to note that Kishane outperformed Lyles in the heats and semifinals of the Paris Olympics.
