If you thought Noah Lyles missed out on Johnathan Walkerthe gold medal in the 100-meter dash, you weren't the only one. Just be thankful you don't have a microphone in front of your mouth.
NBC broadcaster Leigh Diffey was into the moment like the rest of the audience taking in the 100, but he seemed a bit more decisive with his call than what the eye told. As the sprinters crossed the line, the cameras panned to Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson and Diffey declared Thompson the winner, not Lyles.
"Jamaica's gonna do it, Kishane Thompson is a gold medalist, on debut," Diffey declared, before going silent.
The competitors were all huddled waiting for photo evidence of the finish. When the photo did come in, it was Lyles who was the winner of the race, by just thousandths of a second over Thompson.
Lyles' victory secures the U.S.'s first gold medal in the 100 meters in 20 years, and solidifies his standing as the fastest man in the world.
