Noah Lyles won the men's 100-meter dash at the Paris Olympics, marking the end of a 20-year Olympic drought in the event for the USA. His victory was by the slimmest margins, with Lyles taking gold by a fraction of a second from Jamaica's Kishane Thompson. This was the narrowest margin of victory since electronic timing has been used at the Olympics. Lyles' compatriot Fred Kerley took bronze in 9.81 seconds. Lyles' win cements his status as the premier American superstar in the sport.
And I was fully prepared to see his name pop up and to see my name pop up, I'm like goodness gracious. I'm incredible.
I really beat myself today in that I didn't trust myself and my speed to bring myself to the line in first place.
It's the hard battle, it's the amazing opponents. Everybody's healthy, everybody came prepared for the fight and I wanted to prove that I'm the man amongst all of them. I'm the wolf amongst wolves.
