PARIS: After all the talk and all the hype, Noah Lyles duly delivered when it mattered most by winning the closest-ever Olympic 100 metres final by five-thousandths of a second on Sunday (Aug 4) to give the United States the title for the first time in 20 years.

World champion Noah Lyles roared to victory in 9.79sec to claim gold in a dramatic men's Olympic 100m final in Paris on Sunday. Lyles became the first American, male or female, to win the event since Justin Gatlin won in the 2004 Athens Games. In a photo-finish, Jamaica's Kishane Thompson claimed silver, just five-thousandths of a second off Lyles' pace. Lyles' US teammate Fred Kerley took bronze in 9.81sec, just one-hundredth ahead of South African Akani Simbine, who timed 9.82sec. Defending champion Marcell Jacobs of Italy was fifth in 9.85sec, Botswana's Letsile Tebogo sixth in 9.86sec, American Kenny Bednarek seventh in 9.88sec and Jamaican Oblique Seville eighth in 9.91sec in an astonishing race.
PARIS : Jamaica's Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville served notice they plan to battle favourite Noah Lyles of the United States for Olympic men's 100 metres glory, clocking the two quickest times in the semi-finals on Sunday.
Canadian sprint star Andre De Grasse qualified for the men's 100-metre semifinal at the Paris Olympics on Saturday, while fellow Canadian Aaron Brown missed his chance to compete for a spot due to a false start.
