I have never seen a final that across-the-board close. I mean, look at that photo finish. The whole field is all packed within a couple of meters of each other.

This is the tightest field I can recall without a doubt

I honestly wasn't sure Lyles had medaled watching the live broadcast.  The finish line camera told a different story.

I thought it went Thompson-Lyles-Kerley until they showed the slow-mo with a better angle.

 

Fuck me, that was a fun day of track!!!

Announcers really blew that call. Declared Thompson the winner and then failed to realize Lyles was declared the winner for about 20 seconds. Butchered it. 

Yeah, that’s what I just texted a buddy.

Lyles told the whole USA he won about half a minute before nbc did.

you know how I know the announcers clearly werent in the stadium??  and were probably live casting from a studio?

 

yeah, cause they showed Lyles celebrating for what seemed like 30 seconds, pulling off his nametag, and runnning around the stadium screaming america. 

 

and it took forever for them to announce his win.

I assumed they were just waiting for someone in their ear (who wasn’t in the stadium) to tell them instead of looking up at the scoreboard.

Yeah, that's what crazy. Bolt blew those guys away today. 

He's the 🐐 for a reason. Nobody today can touch what Usain, Yohan, Tyson and Justin were throwing down 10-15 years ago. But such is sport. Others will come along.

Keep in mind that Noah is a 200m specialist. Kerley originally featured in the 400m. Now they are Olympic medalists in the 100m. So when some pure 100m specialists appear, the times will drop accordingly.

Even so, who cares? We just witnessed the closest 100m final ever!
