🏋 Paris Olympics: Day 9 - Recap

Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Day 8 | Day 10 |Day 11 | Day 12 | Day 13 | Day

Certainly could not watch a lot but had to watch the essential, Men's 100m, which did not disappoint from its heats to the final!

Track & Field - My goodness! My goodness! What a day. I have to go back and watchbfrack replays because the entertainment has been on full display. Hammer throw, women's high jump, every other event in between, and the men's 100m sprint delivered! Noah Lyles 🇺🇸, Kishane  Thompson 🇯🇲, and Oblique Seville 🇯🇲 looked like they would form the top 3 in the final. But, others lurked (Kerley 🇺🇸,  especially). We deserved a photo finish because all of the competitors wanted the gold!

With Lyles finishing with his chest, gold landed in his hands...er feet. He and Thompson ran very well. Heck, the entire eight-man field in the final sprinted well. 12/100th of a second separated 1st from 8th. Very good job! The 4x100m relay will be fantastic. For the first time in 20 years (Justin Gatlin, Athens, 2004), the USA 🇺🇸 has the fastest man title).

Five Rings,
