Sunday, after one of the most highly-anticipated events of the entire Olympics to crown the world's fastest man, Noah Lyles is a gold medal Olympian. It was not easy, as the photos would show.
The win would come down to a photo finish separated by just thousandths of a second (he beat the silver medalist, Kishane Thompson, by .005 seconds, and the bronze medalist, Fred Kerley of the U.S. by .02 seconds). The competition matched the hype of the moment, as Lyles had to battle back from a group-worst reaction time off the blocks.
