Noah Lyles, 27, set a personal best at the 2024 Paris Olympics in 9.79 seconds. Until the review, it looked like Jamaica’s Keeshan Thompson had just beaten Lyles. The difference between the two was 5,000ths of a second.

When asked about the outcome of the fight, NBC’s Mike Tirico said it was ultimately determined by the location of the two men’s collarbones, a slight advantage that Lyles had over Thompson.

Lyles, the current American and world 100m champion, not only won Olympic gold, but also earned the title of ‘Fastest Man in the World.’ Lyles’ victory solidified his status as one of the world’s top sprinters, showcasing his extraordinary speed and skill on the track.
