Noah Lyles won the men's 100m at the 2024 Paris Games by .005 seconds, the closest margin in the 100m since Moscow in 1980.
Lyles grabbed first place ahead of Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by .005 seconds, marking the closest men's 100m race at the Olympics since 1980, according to ESPN Stats & Information. It was also the second time in the last 60 years that the top two finishers ran the same time measuring into the hundredths.
Once it was confirmed Lyles won the gold, he lifted his bib to the sky, yelled:"America. I told you, I got this," and ran off to celebrate with his family.
