Where the hell did Jamaica pull this Thompson kid out of? Dude scares me gives me Bolt vibes with his build.

USA may be lucky to medal, hope I'm wrong.

Those Jamaicans ran extremely well in the semis… it's going to take perfect execution from Lyles and/or Kerley to beat them… hopefully the nerves gets to inexperienced

Unbelievable levels of suck by NBC. They still haven't announced the bronze medal.

Still not a fan of cocky athletes. Glad USA won but if he was humbled, I would have been ol with that.

Finally mentioned Kerley 10 minutes after the race. Inexcusable suck. Stupid level of suck.

They said he won bronze shortly after the race ended.

Look at the reaction time

Lyles was dead last (tied) out of the blocks
Kerley was first

I decided to calculate the distance he won by.....

27.5 mph (a little less than Usain Bolt's top speed) would be

40.33 feet per second

so for .005 seconds difference that is .2 feet or 2.4 inches roughly

probably 2 inches actually if he was faster than that

But even with that reaction time and everything his first 60m was .01 off his PB.

Lyles is never winning 100's based the first half of his races. He's the anti Christian Coleman.

I feel like the world is a better place when Italy is good at women's sand volleyball.
