It will be a very high speed camera. Sorta like the ones they use when photographing bullets, explosions, etc.

You can't remember a closer 100m than 0.005 secs?
Seems like two others had their feet across the finish line before Lyles, but not their clavicles (which is apparently the deciding factor).
Lyles huge favourite for the 200m.
nah, mate, they measure it from the finish line.
Weird how slow Thompson's second half looked given the fast time.
He's a twat but he's delivers, 200M, Relay, he's going to do them all.
yeah but you’ve got an unfair advantage. at a young age your athletes are already shooting guns and running away from bullets at school. only natural that translates into medals.And that medal puts the US on top of the gold medal table.
Phelps hit the plate with more force. Other guy touched first but it's automated, you need to press the plate to stop the clockWhy do all these razor close ones always go to the American… didn’t Phelps have 2 fingernail ones in his 8 golds year? Clutch genetics :cry:
Lyles for 4 guaranteed. Should sneak himself into 4x400m magically on top
A different stride and a different man would've won
Most of them die too so not sure how much of an advantage that is.
Obviously only the quick ones survive
And then interbreed
It's the torso.
London was

French pole vault guy would have won that photo finish
could have just unfurled it from the blocks.
Not even just the winner, the whole field was so close. PBs, SBs and NBs all over the place.
0.12s between first and last
Sad to see Jacobs, after everything he's been through, suffering the indignity of having to run clean.
Think gabbie logan said world record time for 4 5 6 7 and 8. As in the beat ever time for a 4th place finish etc,.not for the actual runner. Could have misunderstood her though.
Is that roughly 1.2m in terms of distance between first and last? If my math is correct

NBA twitter in absolute shambles
Just bumped into Tatum in Paris
Poor guy. Only 2 olympic gold medals, how will he cope
What’s happened?
Crazy race. So close. He JUST made it. And that’s the difference between “he’s just got that championship mentality to run a PB in the final / look how he fed off the energy / great showman the sport needs etc etc” compared to “should focus more on his starts / conserve energy instead of jumping around / arrogance cost him etc etc”
Turns out though that he does get a buzz from the antics and he ran his best ever time in an Olympic final. Difficult to critique that in the end.

Lyles rattled them a while back by saying NBA isn’t the world championship.
It’s factually true to be fair!
Reminds me of Ronaldo, bit of bellend, but when he's under pressure brings his "A Game"
Really doesn't matter. They can bond in unison when the NBA stars wins their gimme "real" world title here....
Hodgkinson is unreal too, that's a big record to chase, and a vintage 80's doping era of women's athletics which have taken 40 years to get anywhere near as they're biggest fake records in history - but I genuinely feel she has it in her, hopefully here, but if not.... it's coming.

Rather interesting rule.
When does breakdancing start?
Really cool seeing Ledecky watching Finke in the 1500. You gotta figure training with him helped her maintain her place on top
It's funny the rabbit holes the Olympics can lead you down. No real knowledge of badminton but I saw a clip today of a badminton player having to forfeit due to injury, she was screaming and inconsolable. It was terribly sad.
Then I see in the comments that she's not well liked in Badminton circles and they have no sympathy for her. She's considered a poor sport with 10 minute Youtube compilations of her mind games and gamesmanship.
And apparently in 2016 it was the other way around when she won against an injured player but showed no concern or humility.

1st 100m men’s gold in 20 years. Let’s go!
