Lyles' victory marks the first American gold in this event since 2004. Despite trailing for most of the race, Lyles surged ahead in the final moments to secure the win. Fred Kerley of the United States took bronze with a time of 9.81 seconds. Lyles, known for his showmanship, celebrated exuberantly, declaring himself the fastest man in the world. His victory is part of his broader goal to win multiple gold medals at the Paris Olympics.
