Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. American track star Noah Lyles missed the 4x100-meter relay due to COVID-19.

While Team USA may have benefited from Lyles' presence on the track for the relay event, a mishap ultimately ended the American men's hopes of capturing gold in Paris Friday.

The U.S. men's track and field team extended its medal drought in the men’s event to 20 years after a botched handoff in the first leg of the race led to a disqualification for the Americans.

The team of Christian Coleman, Kenneth Bednarek, Kyree King and Fred Kerley finished the race in seventh place but was later disqualified after it was found Coleman handed off the baton to two-time silver medalist Bednarek outside the exchange zone.
