Noah Lyles ended a 20-year U.S. drought in the men's 100m final on Sunday, winning gold with a personal-best 9.784-second time.

Lyles grabbed first place ahead of Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by .005 seconds, marking the closest men's 100m race at the Olympics since 1980, according to ESPN Stats & Information. It was also the second time in the past 60 years that the top two finishers ran the same time measuring into the hundredths.
