Thankfully, he ended up getting the medical attention he needed which prevented this situation from being worse than it already was.
Lyles’ feat in the 200-meter race was certainly impressive, but as his mother notes, it was also quite scary, and everyone will be thankful that he managed to escape this event unscathed.
