Today’s excitement was off the charts! Day three’s events were a rollercoaster of thrills, but stealing the spotlight was the men’s 100m final – a race that had fans across the world on the edge of their seats from start to finish. In today’s edition of Torch Talk, we recap…
– Noah Lyles wins the first Olympic gold of his career by taking the 100m crown over Jamaica's Kishane Thompson. Both men ran 9.79 and the gold was decided by thousandths-of-a-second. American Fred Kerley came through for bronze in 9.81.
