Lamont Marcell Jacobs: American sprinter Noah Lyles secured the Olympic men's 100m title, narrowly edging out Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by a mere 0.005 seconds at the Paris 2024 Games.

Lyles surged past his rivals in the final metres, clocking a personal best of 9.79 seconds.

Thompson, making his Olympic debut, led for most of the race but could not hold off the charging Lyles, who showcased his trademark showmanship and finishing speed. Both athletes recorded the same official time, but Lyles was declared the winner.
