SAINT-DENIS, France—Noah Lyles of the United States won the Olympic 100 meters by .005 seconds Sunday, waiting some 30 seconds after the finish of one of the closest sprints in history to find out he'd beaten Kishane Thompson of Jamaica.

The word “Photo” popped up on the scoreboard next to the names of Lyles, Thompson, and five others after they crossed the line.
