COVID seemingly couldn’t keep Noah Lyles down for long.
Lyles was dancing up a storm in L’Arc nightclub in Paris in a video that surfaced on Monday, just days after being forced to withdraw from Olympic competition due to COVID.
The 27-year-old came in third in the 200-meter final on Aug. 8 and needed to be taken off the track in a wheelchair. It was later revealed he had the virus — and ran the race with a 102-degree fever.
Two days after his bronze finish, Lyles, who won gold in a photo-finish 100 meter race, declared himself all better.
“Thank God, I am Covid free,” the Olympian wrote in a post on X on Aug. 10 alongside a photo of a negative COVID test — two days before video of him out and about in Paris on Sunday surfaced.
Lyles was enjoying his night while listening to Pop Smoke with his fellow countrymen, while Simone Biles, was also seen at the club according to TMZ.
“I told y’all bro dropped that negative Covid test on his page so he can go party and nobody look at him funny,” one X user wrote over video of his festivities. “what a guy man.”
The star sprinter’s mom shared fear for his health after his 200-meter finish, in which he collapsed in a heap on the track.
