The 100m sprint has never been seen before in the modern Olympics. There was so much excitement at the Stade de France track and field in Paris yesterday. A few seconds after the end of the race, the name of the fastest man is waiting to be known.
The eyes of all the spectators who came to watch the game, including the athletes, were on the Big Woman.
Unable to be patient, at one point Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson was seen shouting 'come on'. The fastest man in the photo finish was announced after his shout was over. Noah Lyles smiled triumphantly at that.
Never before has an Olympic 100m sprint been decided by a photo finish.
Lyles beat Thompson by 0.005. The 27 -year-old American sprinter won gold with a time of 9.784 seconds. And Thompson clocked 9.789 seconds. On the other hand, another American sprinter, Fred Curley, won the bronze with a time of 9.81 seconds.
After becoming the fastest man in the world, Lyles announced new goals. Want to touch the legendary Usain Bolt's record. He wants to win treble in Olympics. Bolt won the treble in consecutive 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympics. To do this he will have to win gold in 200m and 4 times 100m relay.
Lyles, however, won the treble at the World Championships in Budapest last year. About winning the treble, he said, 'I will not lie, I am very confident. I will keep winning. No one else is winning. When I turn, others will be disappointed.
