His reaction was .307, that would have been at least a 9.78 with a normal reaction.
9.74 with a good reaction.

Reaction times can be misleading. If you watch the race. He got out with Kerley who had a .17 reaction time.
Coming from Wisconsin...he came from a small northern Wisconsin high school then a juco school. Remember he ran a 19/44 double on the same day at juco nationals. He is ready to run a crazy fast 200. He could very easily join the sub 10/20/44 club one day.
does he get a spot on the relay team?
I noticed that too (I only saw the results website, and haven't actually seen the race).
I mean, if the reaction times are legit, he had a slightly faster time than Bromell even, if you go by time elapsed from reaction time to finishing time (and yes, I realize that is not how the winner of a race is determined).
Still, I figured it might just have been some glitch in the recording instrument. Or else all the top finishers had surprisingly slow reactions.
Watching the race over it looks like he got out slightly slower than kerley, the reaction is likely off
I like Lyles a lot but could Kerley and Bednarek beat him?? Or will his top end carry him?

And note that .13 second difference doesn't look long at all to the naked eye but as the numbers show it's actually a huge difference.
He had the fastest top in speed in the race. But it’s not a top end Olympiad bro, it’s a race to the finish line.

Yes
Reaction times matter a lot in the 100.
In the 2017 London World Championships (his final race) Usain Bolt ran the fastest race, but had a slow reaction time which meant he got bronze instead of gold.
You gotta practice those starts!
Faulty sensor in lane 3 looks like. Anna Cockrell had the exact same reaction time in the 100 hurdles final.
No he's the slowest.
I had looked at the results again and realized many of the reactions were wrong.
Norman should be the opening guy. No one runs the curve like him.
All the reaction times in the men’s 100m and women’s 100m hurdles are wrong—every lane has the same reaction time listed in both of those races as it does in the men’s 400m finals. Some aspect of the system clearly stopped working after the men’s 400m finals.
They take 5 or 6 for each relay team. Top 4 for the finals.

Yes, something is up with the blocks. Several people in different races had .307 exactly. Not gonna happen by chance.
hes better in the 200,and he can run a super quick 400.
I suspect it's not only the blocks. As judged by PB's and basic PB's, the men's 100m final was absolutely huge. And then the wind readings for the women's 100m races? Strange.
I don't trust anything to do with the management of the Eugene facility, old or new. Something's rotten in the state of Oregon.
Assuming nobody false-started, all that matters for now is finishing order.
Have to watch the race again now, to look at how Bednarek ran.
