How Did Lyles Win Gold Despite Thompson's Leg Crossing The Line | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

This lady did a very good job on explaining the true outcome of the race

But, that foot with the orange shoe is actually Kerley's. Thompson had on white shoes, and if you look at the overhead image from the aerial view, you'll see that his foot is slightly on the line, behind Keryley's (wearing the orange shoe). So, even many media analysts got it wrong. They keep looking at the foot on the line, but it doesn't belong to Thompson. The foot she circled in red clearly belongs to Kerley. Noah Lyles is still the winner, but people need to stop judging Thompson's position by the orange shoe in the foreground. It's not his.

The torso is all that counts!

All of these so called track and field fans apparently don’t know as much as they thought they knew.

I learned something new about track and field sprints.

even lyres was late startedbut he was smart and catch them on the track and won it ,noah was sensational

Lyles ran them all down after a dismal start. All heart!❤

The “FOOT” was NOT Thompson’s foot…it was Kerley’s foot (the US bronze medalist on the event). Thompson did, in fact, come in second according the OIC rules. Lyles was the first, indeed, to cross the line with his torso (chest), followed by Thompson for second place. The 5 thousandth photo illustration split between Lyles and Thompson showed how close these men were to each other. However, it was Lyles, Thompson, and Kerley, in that order, that medaled on the event. Congratulations to these remarkable athletes, especially, Lyles for taking the gold for the United States. Now, on the other hand, if the “Foot”had been placed in contention, Kerley ( the bronze medalist)would have been the gold medalist instead.

That was Fred Kerley's leg!

It's not your foot,leg, elbow, third leg, toe, or forehead, none of that. It's your torso, which is your body frame. Lyles torso crossed first, I tried explaining it to the YouTube dummies yesterday

That was Fred Kerley's leg! No ????

Woow,,, thanks for the education

Its like jamaican merlene ottey vs gail devers

I call it the amazing race, so damn close. Congratulations to Noah Lyles🇺🇲💖👏💐 Congratulations to K. Thompson and F. Kerley too 🇯🇲💐🇺🇲💐👏💖

Noah Lyles 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Now all of a sudden no one heard about the lean. They talking about the foot the shoulder and all that mess. The lean been going on for ages.

It actually looks like Kerley leg crossed first. HIs foot is ahead of everyone’s so either way Thompson loses.

Orange shoe is Kerly, Thompson had on white shoes. Point still made, Torso = Gold

Noah lyes is the man of year of atletic world, at current stage just as Usain bolt n Carl Lewis at that time. So fortunate for noah, he crossed 1st compare to thompson at finishin g line, n OIC..correctly awarded him the deserved winner. Congrats also to Mr Thompson n my fv kerley, for a super fantastic show that I'm sure wl be remember for 100 years to come. Tq Olympic tq Paris. Fan kuala lumpur Malaysia❤

Good rules by Olympics athletics technical commmittees,,,,, lyles pass torso first at the finished line,,,, unlike horse racing rules any legs part pass the line will declares champion,,,,,
