No Athlete of Year award for Lyles

The American won one of the closest finals in Games history to take gold in Paris in August by five thousandths of a second from Jamaica's Kishane Thompson.

But 200m Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo of Botswana and Norway's 5,000m gold medallist Jakob Ingebrigtsen were the two male finalists for the track athlete award.

Lyles was aiming for an Olympic sprint double but had to settle for the 200m bronze behind Tebogo and his US teammate Kenny Bednarek.

He later revealed that he had raced in the 200m despite testing positive for Covid-19.
