#Olympics2024 Photo Finish! USA's Noah Lyle Becomes World's Fastest Man (Sports- #Paris2024Olympics)

 

                   Photo finish finale


The Olympics is for the best among the best. First among equalk. Inter primus pares. Now, imagine how 100m, the shortest race in athletics, would pan out at the sports if only the fastest men in the world? Gripping! Epic!

 The 100m Olympics race that just ended proved just as tense and dramatic as expected. Shane Thompson, a Jamaican sprinter, powered ahead by a teeny weeny bit. But in the last two paces to the end of the race, a shortest than other athletes, surged his head and torso extremely aggressively ahead in a photo finish ending. The whole stadium waited with bated breaths, the athletes most tensely, till Noah Lyle was announced as the gold medallist! They all ran 9.59 seconds. Usain Bolt's record of 9.58 remaining yet unbroken. 

Thompson (in yellow) thundering ahead 

Rapper Snoop Dogg was thrilled as he waved the Stars and 


Stripes merrily. Why won't he wave the flag? The silver medallist is also from Team USA, and he also won in similar fashion. The gold, silver and bronze medallist, all if them even, ran same time! 


The clincher? For ages, Team USA sprinters always win tight races with this strategy.  American have so mastered this trick so well, of thrusting their head, torso, arms, legs extremely far ahead to register any part of their body as ahead in photo finish races. It explains how they've emerged winners of many tight races down history st athletics meets. 

    Noah Lyle, the new fastest man in the world

And why Thompson, the Jamaican sprinter who led till the last two places, came third finally.

Wiz Khalifa Makes Fresh Baby News (Entertainment)

American rapper, Wiz Khalifa is one American rapper who has made a name for himself in the music industry as a cool, easy going star who shun any form of drama but is full of surprises. When he met and married model Amber Rose, it took everyone by surprise. Moreso, when before people knew he was dating Rose, she was pregnant. And just as we are grappling with that information, they made it official and got married. Their son, Sebastian Bash, was born soon afterwards.
