The world’s No 1 sprinter Noah Lyles ran the race of his life to win gold in the men’s 100m by beating the fastest man in the world this year by just five thousandths of a second.
It was a photo-finish between seven of the eight sprinters competing in front of a raucous 80,000 spectators in the Stade de France, with Lyles of the US edging it by a whisker with a personal best of 9.79sec.
