The men's 100m final at Paris 2024 Olympics was one for the history books, led by Noah Lyles's astonishing run to supersede the rest of the field in the fastest race recorded in a global men's final.
Lyles blazed to his first Olympic gold medal in a new Personal Best (PB) of 9.79s to win United States first Olympic men's 100m title in 20 years since Justin Gatlin accomplished the feat at Athens 2004.
By doing this, he edged fierce rival Kishane Thompson to the title despite both clocking an identical time. However, the Jamaican settled for the silver medal by a minute 0.005 thousand of seconds, while Fred Kerley resurfaced on why he's a former world champion by claiming the bronze medal in 9.81s.

Their groundbreaking dominance in the men's 100m final is now regarded as the fastest in history, which produced the first race where all finalists broke the 10-second barrier.
Also, the gap between Lyles and Oblique Seville (who finished last) was just 0.12s - the smallest ever gap recorded between first and eighth place in a global men's final.

The men's 100m final in Paris was one for the history books and it'll always be etched as one of the greatest races in sprint history.
For Lyles, asides the bragging rights of becoming the Olympic champion, he can also revel in the fact that he was the driving force in such a race and can look ahead to greater future performances, which will be vital in his quest to retire among the greatest sprinters in history.
