In a photo-finish, Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson claimed silver.
WORLD CHAMPION NOAH Lyles roared to victory in 9.79 seconds to claim gold in a dramatic men’s Olympic 100m final in Paris on Sunday.
Lyles’ US teammate Fred Kerley took bronze in 9.81 seconds, just one-hundredth ahead of South African Akani Simbine, who timed 9.82 seconds. Head tucked down through to the 40-metre mark, the American opened up, but the whole field pushed him all the way. The lights were then shut off, the sprinters leaving the track to remake their entrance like prize fighters in a colosseum.
