Noah Lyles wins Olympic gold in 100-meter sprint after astonishing photo finish

American sprinter Noah Lyles won gold in the men's 100-meter sprint Sunday on day nine of the 2024 Paris Olympics in a finish so close even the announcers didn't know who won the race.

After the official times came in, Lyles was determined to have crossed the finish line just a hair ahead of Jamaica's Kishane Thompson, with the men posting respective times of 9.784 and 9.789 seconds. According to the Associated Press, Lyles' .005-second lead was one of the closest sprints in the Games' history.

Team USA's Fred Kerley claimed the bronze with a time of 9.81 seconds.
