Показать описание
Noah Lyles won the Olympic 100 meters by .005 seconds Sunday, waiting some 30 seconds after the finish of an excruciatingly close sprint to find out he'd beaten Kishane Thompson of Jamaica.

America's Fred Kerley came in third at 9.81. The top seven all finished within .09 of each other.

This was the closest 1-2 finish in the 100 since at least Moscow in 1980 — or maybe even ever. Back then, Britain's Allan Wells narrowly beat Silvio Leonard in an era when the electronic timers didn't go down into the thousandths of a second.

Lyles became the first American to win the marquee event in Olympic track since Justin Gatlin in 2004.

The 9.784 also marks a personal best for Lyles, who has been promising to add his own brand of excitement to track and certainly delivered this time.

Pretty ignorant behaviour by Fred Kerley. Lyles is a much bigger person.
