The exposure finish is truly bewitch .

Noah Lyles!

On Sunday, the two-time Olympic sprinter from Virginia won his first gold medal, effectively becoming the fastest man in the world.

He won the 100m Final at the Paris Olympics.

Always a highly anticipated event, this year’s 100m Final proved even more thrilling as Lyles won in a photo finish.

Hebeat outKishane Thompson of Jamaica by 0.005 seconds with a time of 9.784 seconds. American Fred Kerley finished in third.

Here’s a look at the staggeringly close finish:

According to Olympic sprinting rules, the finish is determined by an athlete’s torso.

“The first athlete whose torso (as distinguished from the head, neck, arms, legs, hands, or feet) reaches the vertical plane of the closest edge of the finish line is the winner,” the Olympics state.

It was such a close finish that Lyles initially didn’t think he won.

According toESPN, Lyles said in a post-race conference, “I’m going to be honest, I came over [to Thompson] and I was like: ‘I think you got that one, big dawg!’ Something said I need to lean, and I was like, ‘I’m going to lean,’ because it’s that type of race.”

Shortly after winning, Noah tweeted an inspirational message, saying, “I have Asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD, anxiety, and Depression. But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become. Why Not You!”
