American speedster Noah Lyles has won the 100 metres at the Paris Olympics in a photo finish.
Lyles crossed the finish line with a gold-medal winning time of 9.79, with Jamaican Kishane Thompson clocked five-thousandths of a second behind while another American Fred Kerley came in third, posting a time of 9.81.
Lyles is the first American sprinter to win an Olympic gold medal in the men’s 100m since Justin Gatlin won gold at the 2004 Athens Games.
