When the 100 metres men’s race was over at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the runners were confused. The spectators were equally confused. The in-stadium cameras didn’t know where to focus, as seven of the eight finalists – including Tokyo 2020 defending champion Marcell Lamont Jacobs of Italy, and a trio of Americans headed by Noah Lyles – all had the word “PHOTO” next to their names on the leaderboard.
It turned out that Lyles, whose specialty is actually the 200m, won the gold by a whisker. His personal best of 9.784 seconds moved him ahead of Jamaican Kishane Thompson (9.789). Former 100m world champion Fred Kerley of the United States took the bronze at 9.81.
