Noah Lyles took the men's 100-metre at the Paris Olympics by 0.005 seconds.
With a chance at Olympic glory once every four years, getting the right result is critical to the integrity of the Games, and that's where the emotional component of sports enters the equation.

In the men's 10,000m, Canada's Moh Ahmed finished 0.33 seconds short of bronze, while Berihu Aregawi of Ethiopia finished two hundredths ahead of American Grant Fisher to win the silver medal. The same thing happened in the mixed relay triathlon on Monday, with 0.005 seconds splitting Germany's gold medal, Great Britain's bronze, and America's silver after a successful challenge.
While photo finishes aren't new and date back to the Los Angeles 1932 Olympics, when Eddie Tolan won the first Olympic photo finish ahead of Ralph Metcalfe in the 100m at 10.38 seconds, the consistency of which things are coming down to the wire in distance events is irregular — if not exceptional.
