Noah Lyles had extraordinary Olympic Games, but he did have one small issue while competing and his mom came to the rescue, to an extent. Keisha Caine Bishop was very angry at the organizers because of the lack of assistance needed.

Noah collapsed after competing in the men's 200-meter final, he raced despite the fact that he tested positive for Covid-19. He fell to the ground after crossing the finish line as he ended the race in third place in what was a scary scene at the Stade de .

Lance Brauman, Lyles' coach, told reporters that the competitor's temperature was 102 degrees when he attempted to complete the double, but since he could perform any moves and do to precaution, he was wheeled away by medics.

His mom was angry

His mom was disgusted with the security and organizers after the need or help for her son. "This was one of the scariest moments of my life!" Caine Bishop wrote on social media. "Watching my son hold his chest gasping for air while the stadium security refused to call a Dr. as I begged them to send him help. They also refused to do anything to help. They totally ignored me! No parent should ever have to experience this feeling of helplessness!"

But that was not all, as she went to Instagram to express her feelings towards the situation and she went on to give thanks to the broadcast crew from NBC who helped her at the time.

"However, I want to thank the @nbcolympics team for helping me during this moment. Thank you for seeing me & my son as human beings and not just another story. Words cannot express my gratitude for your empathy, professionalism, and kindness," she said.
