How Fast Did Noah Lyles Run The 100 Meters?
Noah Lyles had been signaling to the world that he would be the star of the premier event at the Olympic Games, the 100-meter dash in athletics, a race he won by a very narrow margin.
Lyles was almost tied with Kishane Thompson with a time of 9.79 seconds, another of the standout athletes in this premier event, but it was only 5 thousandths of a second that finally decided the gold for the extraordinary American sprinter.
It was a historic night for Lyles along with Fred Kerley, who brought home the gold and bronze medals for the United States, a delegation that hadn't dominated the 100 meters since 2004.
Lyles was known worldwide not only for his extraordinary physical abilities but also for his unique way of approaching race preparations, always showing up with a card from the famous anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Now he will be remembered for bringing the USA to the top of Paris 2024 in the premier event of the Olympic Games.
