Noah Lyles’ time of 9.79 seconds was just enough to edge out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson in a photo finish, with the margin of victory being five thousandths of a second.

American Fred Kerley earned the bronze medal with a 9.81-second finish and the other athletes followed closely in a very tight manner.
