Show-stopper international athletes, Noah Lyles and Armand Duplantis, put on a spectacle and shook the world with their brain-freezing world records for the Gold medal match in 100m sprint and pole vaulting, respectively.
It takes around 0.1-0.4 seconds for a human eye to blink and 0.8 seconds for a heartbeat to complete its beat, however, defying all natural scanty timings, Noah Lyles incurred Drama, on Sunday night at Stade de France in Paris, when he created a world record of winning his 100m sprint by 0.005 seconds, which is significantly shorter than the time one takes even to process this sentence, and that is 0.13 seconds.
Sprinting is one game, where athleticism is shown at its peaks, and this Olympics is no different as the eight finalists for 100m sprint completed their run in less than ten seconds. Noah Lyles finished his run in 9.784 seconds and secured a Gold medal against Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson, who was credited with 9.79 seconds.
“The deeper the field, the better I run. I know I’m going to win. Because I’m never going to break nerve,” quoted Lyles.
A similar extraordinary play was witnessed by Armand Duplantis, famously known for his moniker as, “Mondo”, in pole vaulting. Mondo put on a show by breaking the world record for the ninth time, however, the first time in the Olympics, when he took off the flight of 6.25 meters which is equal to the height of two-storey building.
Mondo quoted, “It’s hard to understand, honestly, if I don’t beat this moment in my career, then I’m pretty OK with that. I don’t think you can get much better than what just happened.”
Mondo staged his action in front of the crowd of 80,000 at the Stade de France, Paris. He took a deep breath, held his pole closer and leaped into dark sky of Paris.
