Noah Lyles wins 100m gold at Paris Olympics

In a thrilling climax to the men’s 100 meters final at the Paris Olympics, American sprinter Noah Lyles emerged victorious by a mere five thousandths of a second. This win marks the first time in 20 years that the United States has claimed the title in this event.

Key Takeaways

  • Noah Lyles won the men’s 100 meters final with a time of 9.79 seconds.
  • Lyles’ victory was determined by a photo finish, edging out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson.
  • This is the first time in 20 years that an American has won the Olympic 100 meters title.
  • Fred Kerley of the United States took bronze, while Akani Simbini of South Africa finished fourth.

The Race

The men’s 100 meters final was one of the most competitive in Olympic history. The race concluded with a blanket finish, and the stadium scoreboard initially displayed a photo finish for the first seven athletes. Ultimately, it confirmed Noah Lyles as the winner with a personal best time of 9.79 seconds, narrowly beating Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson, who clocked the same time but lost by a fraction.

The Finish

Had the race been just one meter shorter, Thompson would have been the one celebrating. However, Lyles maintained his form superbly and timed his dip perfectly to secure the gold medal. This victory adds to his world title, solidifying his status as the fastest man in the world. Lyles celebrated by ripping his bib name from his shirt and holding it aloft, fulfilling his promise to prove himself as the best.

The Competitors

  • Noah Lyles (USA): Gold, 9.79 seconds
  • Kishane Thompson (JAM): Silver, 9.79 seconds
  • Fred Kerley (USA): Bronze, 9.81 seconds
  • Akani Simbini (RSA): Fourth, 9.83 seconds (national record)

Lyles’ compatriot Fred Kerley secured the bronze medal with a time of 9.81 seconds. Akani Simbini of South Africa finished fourth, marking his sixth fourth or fifth place finish in global championships, albeit with the consolation of a national record of 9.83 seconds.

Lyles’ Reaction

"It’s the one I wanted, it’s the hard battle, it’s the amazing opponents," said Lyles, who became the first American Olympic 100m champion since Justin Gatlin in 2004. "Everybody came prepared for the fight and I wanted to prove that I’m the man among all of them, I’m the wolf among wolves."

Lyles’ victory is a testament to his determination and skill, and it will be remembered as one of the most dramatic finishes in Olympic history.
