Why Noah Lyles Beat Kishane Thompson To Men's 100m Gold Despite Both Clocking 9.79 Seconds
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 won in the closest Olympic 100m finish in modern history as just five thousandths of a second separated him from Jamaica's Kishane Thompson. Both were given the rounded-up time of 9.79sec but the American's name carried the all-important (.784) to Thompson's (.789.)
