Noah Lyles Wins Gold in 100m Dash

Noah Lyles has emerged as the Olympic 100m champion at the 2024 Paris Games, winning by a razor-thin margin of 0.005 seconds over Jamaica's Kishane Thompson. His victory was confirmed after a tense photo finish, making him the first American to win this event in 20 years. Lyles' triumph brought him immense fame and a financial windfall of $137,500, thanks to prize money from World Athletics, the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and pledges from former NFL stars. Lyles, who also aims to secure gold in the 200m and 4x100m relay, is inspired by his teammate Kenny Bednarek and is confident about his prospects. Alongside his sporting achievements, Lyles' personal life, including his relationship with Jamaican athlete Junelle Bromfield, also garners public interest.
