Noah Lyles wins 100m final by 5 thousandths of a second as Usain Bolt's Colosseum captures photo finish at Olympics

Hindustan Times  

Arriving at the monumental Stade de France as the world champion, ace sprinter Noah Lyles completed the thrilling men's 100m final of the Paris Olympics 2024 in 9.784 seconds to become the fastest man on the planet. Putting the United States of America on top in the medal standings on Sunday, Lyles secured a photo-finish win in the closest 100m final contested in modern history of the Olympics at the Paris Games. Bolt's 100m Olympic record at the London 2012 Olympics is still untouched, and the sprint legend also holds the world record of 9.58, which he set back in 2009. USA's Lyles is eyeing to become the first sprinter to win both the 100m and 200m events at the Olympics since Bolt.
