Lyles' bid for Olympic sprint double wrecked by Covid
Thursday, 8 August 2024 Noah Lyles feels "proud" to win 200m bronze after hopes of becoming the first man since Usain Bolt to complete an individual Olympic sprint double were wrecked by Covid-19.
"This might be my favourite medal that I have so far," says 100m Olympic champion Noah Lyles about his 200m bronze medal. Lyles, who was hoping to achieve a 100m-200m double in Paris, was taken off the track in a wheelchair following the 200m final. He revealed later he had tested positive for COVID.
Olympic gold medallist rower Sir Steve Redgrave has handed a letter to the environment secretary Steve Reed to share his and young people's concerns about "effluent being put into the rivers, and how dirty and vile they are". Head of Communities at River Action Erica Popplewell says she feels "encouraged" that the government has banned bonuses for pollutant water bosses, but wants to see further action. Report by Brooksl.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry opposes banning athletes over armed conflicts, signaling a shift in Olympic policy.

Coventry, the first African woman to lead the IOC, will form a task force to guide sports decisions amid global conflicts. She highlights Africa’s ongoing crises and the need to protect athletes. Her stance challenges previous Olympic restrictions, which barred Russian and Belarusian teams after the Ukraine war escalated in 2022.
