Noah Lyles, the Olympic 100-meter champion, was recently spotted wearing… an Olympique Lyonnais jersey!
Noah Lyles was one of the stars of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, thanks to his stunning victory, and by a few millimeters, in the 100 meters final. The American, who also won a bronze medal by finishing third in the 200 meters final, was still in France for the closing of the Paris event.
And on the sidelines of the party, Lyles went shopping with his loved ones. Surprise when you check the Instagram account of the native of Gainesville, Florida, you can see him in a photo, wearing the jersey of… Olympique Lyonnais!
Perfect for deep passes
It is not known whether there is a connection between the man who ran in 9.79 last week and John Textor, the American owner of the Rhone club, but the wink pleased the businessman. The one who succeeded Jean-Michel Aulas even commented: “Great jersey, Noah Lyles”. Perhaps there is a plan to invite the Olympic 100-metre champion to the Groupama Stadium soon or to offer him, like Manchester United did with Usain Bolt in his time, to spend a few trials as a football fan?
A few days before the resumption of Ligue 1, where Lyon will face Rennes in the opening match, Pierre Sage may need, who knows, a fast striker to accompany Georges Mikautadze, OL’s star offensive recruit during the off-season?
