NOAH LYLES won the Olympics 100m gold by an extraordinary 0.005 seconds.
The American superstar, 27, produced a sensational comeback to claim his first Olympic gold medal by the finest of margins.
As the eight stars crossed the line, there was a nervous wait to see who had triumphed in the photo finish.
It was eventually confirmed that Lyles had just about edged it, with the Team USA star celebrating by pointing to his name card.
The Florida-born champion achieved a time of 9.79(.784) - clearing Thompson's 9.79(.789) effort.
Speaking on the BBC, four-time former gold medallist Michael Johnson made a bold claim.
The American, 56, said: "Absolutely [the best 100m final I have seen] bar none. It was so open, there were so many great athletes.
"It lived up to it, we had this amazing race where you could throw a blanket over the finishing line. We didn't even know who won for a few minutes."
