Noah Lyles learns lesson in Olympics 100m heats: ‘These boys are coming to play’

New York Times  

SAINT-DENIS, France — As impossible as it may seem, for someone so declarative about his dominance, Noah Lyles was caught slipping. He still qualified for the semifinals, finishing second in his heat to Great Britain’s burgeoning mulleted star Louie Hinchliffe. “These boys said they’re coming to play,” Lyles said afterward. When someone‘s on the line, they’re gonna give it their all or nothing.” That someone was Hinchliffe, who got a great start and led the whole way. Jamaica’s Oblique Seville and Kishane Thompson, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo, Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme, and Great Britain’s Zharnel Hughes also bested Lyles, who posted the 12th-fastest time.
