Noah Lyles wins first Olympic gold medal with 100m sprint final triumph, with Sha’Carri Richardson taking the women’s 100m title for the very first time in thrilling races at 2024 Paris Olympics.
That’s according to InstantCasinos, who asked AI to predict who will win both the men’s and women’s 100m sprint finals this weekend in the athletics at the Olympic Games.
Noah Lyles Pips Kishane Thompson and Letsile Tebogo To 100m Sprint Gold Medal At 2024 Paris Olympics
Every time the Olympics comes around, fan excitement reaches fever-pitch. The men’s 100m sprint final in particular is the one event that captivates a worldwide audience, and this year is no different. Tens of millions of fans are set to tune in to watch the biggest event of the Olympics once again, with the men’s 100m sprint final set to take place on Sunday night.
The 100m sprint dash is by far and away one of the most prestigious events in the entire sport of athletics. It is of course the shortest common outdoor running distance and has been contested at the Summer Olympics since way back in 1896 (1928 for women).
Like years gone by with names like Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin, there is once again a feeling that the race will be won either by a Jamaican or American sprinter. Reigning world champion Noah Lyles heads into the men’s 100m sprint final as a joint favourite with Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson, both looking to win their first ever Olympic gold medal.
Whoever is crowned the fastest man on the planet cements themselves into Olympic folklore alongside the likes of Bolt, and this year that man is set to be Noah Lyles. That’s according to AI, who is predicting the American will pip Thompson to the gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics men’s 100m sprint final.
Lyles is being tipped to clock a time of 9.77 seconds, securing the gold medal ahead of Thompson in second with a time of 9.84. Third place will see Letsile Tebogo take the bronze medal in his first Olympics, clocking a time of 9.93 to take the third and final podium place.
USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson Wins Women’s 100m Olympic Sprint Final
As for the women, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price has dominated both the 100m and 200m sprints for quite some time now, winning three gold medals, four silvers and a bronze. She features again this year in her fifth Olympic Games at 37-years-old, but is once again going to have to settle for a silver medal, just like in Tokyo.
The gold medal is set to go around the neck of Sha’Carri Richardson. The reigning world champion is an overriding favourite to win her first ever gold medal following her superb Olympic trial time, with the likes of Shericka Jackson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Julian Alfred expected to make Richardson really work for her first gold medal.
According to AI, Richardson will clock a time of 10.67 on Saturday to win the gold medal, 0.04 faster than Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah at Tokyo 2020 when she won gold. Olympic icon Fraser-Pryce will run a monumental race in second with a time of 10.82 to secure her fifth Olympic silver medal, whilst the bronze medal will go to Sherika Jackson for her run of 10.90 seconds.
