Noah Lyles was overjoyed to see a family celebrating Halloween dressed as 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalists LeBron James, Simone Biles, Bobby Finke, and himself. The costumes were a creative nod to the athletes' remarkable accomplishments at the event.
The mother was dressed as Simone Biles, wearing a leotard similar to the one the gymnast wore during the women's team final during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Biles clinched three gold medals and one silver medal at the French capital (team, individual, vault, and floor exercise, respectively).
The father dressed up as LeBron James, who secured his fourth Olympic medal with the men's basketball team in Paris.
One of their kids donned swimming shorts similar to those worn by Bobby Finke, who collected a gold and a silver medal in the men's 1500m freestyle and 800m freestyle events, respectively.
The other kid sported a Team USA kit similar to Noah Lyles'. The sprinter bagged a gold medal in the men's 100m event and a bronze medal in the 200m event.
NBC Olympics shared an image of the family and the athletes on X and wrote:
"Gold medals for everyone!"
Lyles, who couldn't contain his delight, replied to the post, saying:
"Adorable."
