Noah Lyles‘ 100-meter photo finish from Sunday’s events was so mind-bogglingly good. But there’s a frame-by-frame photo of the race that might be even better.
The 2024 Paris Olympics men’s final will be talked about for quite some time. In the immediate aftermath, fans were stunned at just how close it ended. Also, for several moments, it was unclear from NBC’s broadcast who won.
In the end, Lyles beat Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson with an absolutely killer photo finish. Noah managed to lean just as he crossed the finish line, sealing the deal. Getty Images photographer Hector Vivas captured his incredible run with a spectacular eight-frame composite photo.
