Noah Lyles crosses the finish line of the men's 100 metres at the 2024 Paris
Olympic Games by a margin too small for the naked eye to see. However,
the electronic timing gave him victory by just five thousandths of a second.
In what might be regared as the finest men's 100m final all time all the
sprinters beat 10 seconds, with the 'slowest' man clocking 9.91 !
Noah Lyles ran a personal best of 9.79, a time Thompson (9.77) &
Kerley (9.76) had bettered in the past. But on the day....
