This was the best 100 meter race ever IMO. Thompson comes in as hungry monster with the best time in the world, full of confidence. Fred with his crazy season defying the odds to make the teams and get that good and put himself in contention. The other Jamaican flying in the semifinals to make it with one of the faster times. Kenny and Marcell barely making the final. Lyles was calling the energy into him and struggling between worried and believing in himself. The intensity was insane. Then the crazy fast starts from Fred Thompson and Marcell... but knew it was going to be close as soon as Lyles kept the gap limited, then everybody in top gear but Lyles eating up the track and then that devastating lean. Holy fk!!! I didn't think Lyles start would be that great and Kerley was just next level ready to kill. He got the best result possible. Thompson with some disappointment and disbelief as he had the world's best time.. but Lylyes summoned the dragonball Z spirit bomb for this one. He's stepping into legend territory. He might be in shape to break the 200 WR.
Want to add that watching Bolt was so special, but you just knew he was a freak of nature. What Lyles is doing is pushing himself to do something that seems impossible for his abilities. Doesn't have the best start, was in last place around 30m, and then just gets going but even others hit higher speeds then him.. but he wills himself to win. His self belief is unmatched. Today was most of the world not believing in him.
