Halfway through the Paris Games, medals have already been decided in most events, and one of the most high-profile events of each Games, the 100m sprint final, was contested on 50 August. [I don't look at it]
Noah · Lyles, a 27-year-old United States sprinter, won the championship with a score of 9.79 in the final, which was also the first time in 20 years that the United States team won the men's 100-meter sprint.
If the name Lyles is certainly not the slightest impression of him, but if you say that the buddy who took out the card of the blue-eyed white dragon (a prop for the Japan anime Yu-Gi-Oh) in the Olympic budget competition, then everyone will definitely remember who he is.
Not only did he pull out the Blue-Eyed White Dragon in the Olympic qualifiers, but he also won the tournament, and in the semi-finals, Lyles pulled out an even more classic card from his pocket, "Sealed Axzodia."
It's too difficult to write an article, Xiaobian is also working overtime in the company every day to write articles, working until 12 o'clock in the evening every day, the daily income is only 50 yuan, and the text is unlocked with 5 seconds of advertising, just to earn a few more dollars, I hope not to scold, I hope you will forgive me a little.
Not only did he win another normal class race, but he also set a new personal best of 9.83 seconds, in addition to qualifying for the Olympics.
In the post-match interview, Lyles showed off his cards so highly, not only to show off his collection to the audience, but also to make a bet on Lyles and United States women's shot put star Chase · Erie before the match.
If Lyles manages to reveal his game cards in the match, then Chase · Erie wears the Rock Lee costume from anime Naruto in her Olympic women's shot put final.
And now Lyles has not only successfully shown his card, but also successfully won the Olympic gold medal, and now wait for United States women's shot put star Chase · Ealy to dress up in this final.
And Lyles, who is so cheerful and optimistic, said in an interview after the championship: "I have asthma, allergies, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, anxiety and depression. ”
Although he described his many problems in the interview, he ended up telling all the viewers in front of the TV: "What you have doesn't determine who you become!" ”
And Lyles said such sensible words to the audience, which is also somewhat related to the environment in which he grew up. Although now Lyles is shining at the Olympics as a rising star in the men's 100m.
Who would have thought that he would suffer from very severe asthma when he was a teenager, and even worse, his parents were track and field masters United States Nishitoyama University.
The fact that the child, who is an obvious athlete, has severe asthma is not only unacceptable to his parents, but also difficult for him to accept.
Fortunately, after several years of active treatment, Lyles's asthma symptoms improved a lot, but he was bullied a lot during school, which made him suffer from depression, and he suffered from mental illness in the subsequent bullying.
Lyles, who was bullied when he was growing up, gradually began to have an interest in two-dimensional (manga and anime), and this interest was out of control as soon as it started.
As a post-95 generation, Lyles, like his peers in the mainland, is at the peak of Japan's animation industry, and anime and manga around the world are dominated by Japan.
Lyles is also deeply infected by these bloody anime in Japan, whether it is Dragon Ball Naruto, One Piece, Japan's three major bloody manga, or classic anime such as Yu-Gi-Oh Pokémon, Lyles' favorite.
And after Lyles's psychology was filled with anime and manga, he also began to give full play to the excellent physical fitness given by his parents, exposing his unparalleled talent in athletics.
And Lyles' talent, combined with his hard work, made him like the talented basketball stars in the NBA, directly crossing the college into the ranks of professional track and field players.
In the history of athletics, Lyles is also the first athlete to cross the university stage to enter the professional team, and at the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games, Lyles won the gold medal in the men's 200m for the first time. In July 2016, in the 100m of the World Junior Athletics Championships, Lyles won the championship with a time of 10.17 seconds.
And in the future competition, Lyles also won the championship with one horse, and even won the 200m championship at the World Championships in Athletics in 2022, and broke the United States United States national record held by Michael · Johnson for a long time in 2022.
Lyles, who received such an honor, became more outgoing in personality and spoke more straightforwardly. To what extent? At the press conference, he bluntly said, "The team that won the NBA Finals claims to be the number one in the world, how can they be the number one in the world United States the number one in the world?" Can the number one in the United States represent the number one in the world? ”
And how could the NBA, the second largest league in the United States, tolerate a young man's evaluation of them, and many basketball professional players began to "bombard" Lyles on the Internet.
Famous star Durant came out to complain about Lyles's remarks, saying: "Who will help this brother? After Durant spoke, players from all walks of life also came off the court.
But Lyles replied logically: "This meaning is not just my personal meaning, the NBA is indeed the best basketball league in the world, but the national level is only national, how can your national championship be confused with the world-class one?" And how can you claim to be the number one in the world without confrontation with other countries? ”
Lyles, who has a straight mouth, can be said to be more straightforward and does not care about the world at all, even if he signs a contract with Adidas. Lyles is still going his own way, once invited to attend an NBA star's sneaker launch, Lyles's answer is still no. He also said directly: "He can't even make the NBA finals, why should I play in a sport that I don't care about at all, and I have to give him a pair of shoes for nothing." ”
In addition to the NBA, Lyles does not have such a strong offensive power, he buys the peripherals he likes in addition to watching anime every day, and even does nail art.
Although Lyles won the gold medal with a time of 9.79 seconds at the Paris Olympics this time, this result is far inferior to Lyles's predecessors in the eyes of many people.
And this is indeed the case, at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Tyson · Gay ran an amazing time of 9.71 seconds, but he met Bolt at his peak and could only win the second place, and Bolt ran 9.58 seconds beyond the human limit!
In the men's 100m final at London 2012, Tyson · Gay ran 9.80 seconds, but could only settle for fourth place, not even having a chance to finish on the podium.
Therefore, although Lyles has won the gold medal in this Paris Olympics, there is still a lot of gap between him and the achievements of those historical flyers, and everyone means that they want to see wonderful competitions like the 100-meter Five Tigers in 2012.
