American sprinter Noah Lyles has made history by winning the men's 100-meter finals at the Olympics, earning the title of the world's fastest man.Lyles said that when people see him race, they know something special is about to happen, and he didn't disappoint.The race was a photo finish, with Lyles clocking a personal best of 9.72 seconds. The race was so close it came down to five-thousandths of a second."Everybody thought this would be a slow year for the 100, but here we are proving that it wasn't," said Lyles.The race was not just a personal victory for Lyles, but also a win for Team USA. Lyles' teammate, Fred Kerley, won bronze, marking his second Olympic medal in the 100.He spoke about the tight race and how the energy of the crowd played into it. "I feel like it definitely got in tune with the energy. But at the end of day, we are training for these moments like this, and I can't take it away from nobody," responded Kerley.Lyles is the first American man to win gold in the 100 since Justin Gatlin at the 2004 Athens Games. But the pressure of being the world's fastest man is not lost on those closest to him."I told him that he was born for such a time as this. This moment was created for him. I told him to have fun, that we love you. But he already knows that. And just go out there and do what you do," said Keisha Caine Bishop, Lyle's mom.Lyles will next compete in the men's 200-meter prelims on Monday.
