Athletics: Lyles wins men’s 100m gold in photo-finish
Here we go then. Introductions for each of the runners. All of them get big cheers, the biggest reserved for Noah Lyles and Marcell Jacobs.
Lyles beats his chest as he runs out onto track. He looks confident.
After what seems like an interminable wait, the referee finally gives the call for on your marks. The runners were jumping up and down to stay warm.
This is remarkable. It’s a great start from Thompson. Lyles is slow out of the blocks but he’s quickly catching.
It’s a photo finish at the line!
They’ve given it to Lyles! 9.79 (9.784) PB, by five-thousandths of a second! He sets off running around the track in celebration, jumping up and down, as his win is confirmed.
Thompson in 9.789.
Fred Kerley bronze in 9.81.
Lyles has found his mother in the crowd and is getting massive hugs from her. The world champion is the Olympic champion.
