Basically like the Kentucky derby earlier this year lmao literally won by a nose
What’s considered the finish? Entire head over the final line?
what a finish, fair and square
Does your foot not count as a body part for the finish line?
Super fucking close. Wow.
literally won by cms
this foto looks so cursed
INSANE FINISH!!! man the announcers seemed sure it was Thompson who won, this guy was NOT the favorite and it looked like he was behind for most of it. AWESOME
What’s the exact time do we know? it was 4/1000ths of a second I heard the commentator say. So 9.79xx v/s 9.79xx
8th place guy literally leaning backwards. Lol
Did he pull a YGO card?
So they can do this but instant replay at the skeet shooting event is a no go?
Never skip chest day.
Like a renaissance painting
can you propel your whole body forward like you’re diving into water, or is that against the rules
Looking for a replay, guess I need to wait a bit
Found one, wow it was close. The camera followed the Jamaican after the race, as I imagine they thought he won.
Both althletes are slightly twisted, Thompson towards the camera and Lyles away
For Thompson it looks like they’re measuring from the part of his chest directly in the centre, but for Lyles they’re measuring from the edge of his front shoulder
The 100m really isn’t Noah’s race. He is an absolute beast in the 200m. Bring home another gold, Noah!
It’s insane how close these races are.
Getting VAR offside flashbacks
How do they make the exposure correct at everyone’s chest but some feet appear to have a long exposure and some have a short exposure?
TIL that the torso must cross first
How did they solve those kinds of situations before these high resolution photos?
This is why runners are taught to lean their chest forward at the end. Been this way for decades.
Can someone help explain what I’m looking at? I don’t see a finish line. Also, is it the feet we are looking at, or any body part (like the hands or head). Assuming hair doesn’t count?
Sometimes you gotta pop out and when races
What is the thing on the surfboard beside Thompson?? Or am I hallucinating
WOW!! 🤯
Honestly what am I looking for, how do I tell who won? lol
Nobody knew who won! Crazy finish.
It really is all about that head and neck and Noah was able to stretch it out just a little bit further.

Torso is King
Brother is Naruto running haha
I never know which line to focus on in these graphics 🤷🏾♂️
What body part has to cross in order to win?
Why does the picture show a white floor when they run in “Stade de France” with purple floor?
Does they change the background for better verification?
Does any part of your body count for crossing first?
Compared to 2008, this is insanely close
