Hmm -- call me crazy, but I feel like the positioning of the camera might have wrongly decided the race for Lyles. The first torso to cross the line wins.
If you look at the still image in the article, Lyles' right shoulder is leaning forward and visible to the camera, positioned to his right.
But Thompson's left shoulder seem to be leaning forward, but is hidden in the camera by his head and neck. It's possible Thompson's left shoulder is ahead of Lyles' right shoulder, but the image doesn't seem sufficient evidence to conclude on that.

What do other think?
