    Lyles beat Thompson by 0.005 of a second - is that actually measurable - can the equipment used to take the 'photo' be accurate to the thousands of seconds?

    Not sure if I'm right here but in close swimming races they only go as far as hundreds of a second to determine the winner.

    Given the time difference, the photo finish image is quite clear in showing the narrow gap between them (unlike for VAR in football, it's the torso that matters, not the longest fingernail, etc).

    Brilliant viewing, particularly when two of them are trying to go in opposite directions around the same uphill gate.

    Gutted for her, genuine medal chance and a height she normally clears with no problem at all - no idea what went wrong

    It seems a bit contrived though...more like ' It's a Knockout '...rather than a traditional sport.

    Women’s 200M world record - it’s about time they reset the record me thinks- obvious flo-jo was juiced.

    I'd be more surprised if there's been a clean Olympic sprint champion in the last 40 years
