The night was also marked by Noah Lyles, who, despite testing positive for COVID-19, managed to clinch a bronze medal in the 200 meters. Lyles shared his pride in competing under such challenging circumstances, stating, "I’m more proud of myself more than anything, coming out here to get a bronze with Covid." His determination exemplified the spirit of the event, as many American athletes celebrated their successes. Grant Holloway, a dominant force in the 110-meter hurdles, added to the excitement by winning silver, further solidifying his status as a top competitor. "Today, it was just my day," Holloway remarked, emphasizing the team's collective momentum as they look forward to future races. Additionally, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone continued to impress, breaking the 400-meter hurdles record for the sixth time.
