The split time between Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson was 0.005 seconds as the American was crowned Olympics 100m champion.

Noah Lyles made history with a jaw-dropping finish in the men’s 100m final at the Paris 2024 Olympics, clinching gold by the slimmest of margins.

Lyles edged out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by just 0.005 seconds, despite Thompson's foot crossing the line first.

Lyles’ strategic lean with his torso secured the victory in what is now recorded as the closest 100m final in modern Olympics history.

The breathtaking photo finish, captured by advanced technology, revealed Lyles’ remarkable comeback after initially lagging behind.

The final time of 9.79 seconds confirms this race as one of the most exciting in Olympic sprinting history.
