Noah Lyles was in tears shortly after taking the bronze medal in the 200 meters at the Tokyo GamesTOKYO -- The sobbing from 200-meter favorite Noah Lyles had little to do with the bronze medal. The tears the American sprinter shed Wednesday night were for his brother, Josephus, who had the original dream of being at the Olympics and didn't make the team. It was strictly for the idea that I had taken something and it made me feel better," Lyles explained. When the topic came up in the interviews Wednesday after a third-place finish he conceded was not his goal at these Olympics, Lyles' tears started falling. Lyles didn't know what his path would be, only that he didn't want to go the traditional education route.
