Look at the times. That wait and adrenaline we all felt, they all felt it and look at the race they ran.

That was a world record for a fourth-placed finish, a world record for fifth, a world record for sixth, a world record for seventh and a world record for eighth.

I don't think any of these men was confident they'd won that race. The pace was astonishing.

Two-time world 110m hurdles champion on BBC TV
Incredible times. The fastest 100m we have ever witnessed when it comes to performances!
Noah Lyles is heading to the very top of that list. Incredible performance from him.
Just five thousandths of a second has made Lyles leap into the history books.
This is just so exceptional.

Martin: They could use Ian Smith's commentary from the 2019 Cricket World Cup final on this race, "by the BAREST OF MARGINS!"

It came down to the tightest of margins in that race for gold...
Five-thousandths of them in fact!

Ed Franklin: Thompson lost it in his head, ran so tight compared to the semi. The scandalous hold at the start probably didn't help. But all about the mindset.
Dinesh: That was insane. Sop doubting Noah Lyles!

Allison Curbishley
Former GB 400m runner on BBC Radio 5 Live
All of that was done in the last 10 metres. Fred Kerley was the man that was showing the best form in the latter stages, Kishane Thompson erupted out of the box and was absolutely flying and just tied up. Noah Lyles is on top of the world.

Five thousandths of a second.
That's what separated Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson.
Fred Kerley was two hundredths of a second behind them and the American takes bronze.

They're watching, they're looking. I've never seen a finish this close.
That's it. Lyles has his gold. Unbelievable. Thompson can only look on.
Lyles didn't even have a medal 10m out. He didn't have a hope of winning. He came fast, he came hard, and in the end, by the smallest of margins, he has taken the Olympic title.
Beaten in the heats, beaten in the semi-final, but he's won the one that mattered most.

IT'S GOLD FOR NOAH LYLES!
It's a photo finish, but he's pipped Kishane Thompson of Jamaica by the closest of margins.
9.79 seconds! That's a personal best for the American. What a time to pull that out of the bag.

I'm looking down the track to see if there's any issues. This race was supposed to go off three minutes ago. This is very frustrating for them.

Kishane Thompson doesn't have a lot of experience but he has the world behind him, he has the Jamaicans behind him, he has the legacy of the Jamaicans behind him.
He just needs to hold his nerve.
