Team USA track star Quincy Hall shocked everyone on Wednesday night as he claimed gold in the men’s 400m final. The American’s stellar performance in the final earned a shoutout from the current ‘fastest man in the world’ and fellow Team USA member Noah Lyles.
However, a resurfaced interview clip involving Lyles has prompted fans to ask the Olympic champion to apologize to his teammate. The clip from a podcast features Lyles omitting Hall from his ideal 4x400m relay team, triggering backlash from fans and Hall himself.
Hall responded to Lyles’ exclusion with a tweet challenging him to a race and expressing his readiness to compete. As Hall’s victory in the 400m final unfolded, many fans questioned what Lyles would have to say now about his initial assessment of Hall’s capabilities.
The social media buzz surrounding Lyles and Hall’s dynamic adds an intriguing layer to their performances on the track, showcasing the intensity and camaraderie within Team USA. As the dust settles on the controversy, the focus remains on the remarkable achievements of both athletes in their quest for gold.
