It’s not unreasonable to ask for when in a 55 minute show your referenced comment was made.
Thank you. Would be a bummer for him to be done this year.
No worries, but does sound like he’s done.
By the way though, if there’s a better track interviewer than Shannon Sharpe, I haven’t seen it. His interviews are good.
Yeah, I think a paycheck for this Tyreek thing would get him off the couch. Maybe playing some leverage with adidas and the DL/Grand Slam Track as well. Bit of an unusual decision for Lyles but it’s also possible with his asthma and such, bouncing back from COVID wasn’t great. There are plenty on enticing 100/200 DL spots if he changes his mind…

Agreed. Shannon is knowledgeable about the sport, and he's been covering it a lot on his show the past few weeks.
Beyond Noah confirming he's done for this season, there are a lot of other good topics that came up in this interview that are worth a listen/watch:
1:10: Noah discusses his strategies and mindsets through the rounds of the 100 in Paris.
4:03: Noah dissects the 100m final.
6:10: Discussion on maintaining confidence even when falling behind in the 100.

11:30: Covid and the 200; Noah says he thought he was in shape to break the world record in the 200 before he got covid.
16:00: The differences between running the 100 and 200
17:45: Noah comments on his energy running the rounds of the 200 and why he came out for the 200 final the way he did

25:52: The NBA and “world champions”, and the difference in how US Olympians are treated compared to those in other countries
31:11: Lack of exposure for the sport of track & field and the difficulty for fans to follow it (Noah isn’t happy about the Diamond League going to Flo Track)
33:30: Noah’s thoughts on Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track league (he says he’s waiting to hear if there will be a TV provider before he decides if he’s going to join)
35:27: the 4x100; interesting thoughts from Noah on the politics that goes into athlete/order selection; he believes they should have either gone with the same lineup from the prelim or put Kenny on the anchor leg
38:30: his potential in the 400; he would like to take a shot at the 400 world record if he ever switches to that event
