PARIS. When the Vidiwall confirmed Noah Lyles as the fastest man in the world after what seemed like an eternity due to the photo finish in the spectacular Olympic 100-meter sprint, the 27-year-old American couldn’t believe his eyes. “Oh my god,” was his first reaction after Lyles had expected that Jamaican Kishane Thompson had won the race for gold.
“I went to him and said: You did it!” In the end, both of them finished in 9.79 seconds, with a fraction of five thousandths of a second deciding the difference in favor of the world champion from the United States, who was unstoppable after that. For the first time in Olympic history, all eight finalists ran under ten seconds; one could not have imagined a closer finish.
