We had the pleasure of briefly chatting with Jamaica's Kishane Thompson just two days after he took silver in the men's 100m final at the Paris Olympics. It was the first medal by a Jamaican man in the men's 100m at the Games since Usain Bolt. This is also Thompson's first Olympic Games.

It was a dramatic men's 100m final and ehen the results were finally made official, they showed that Noah Lyles ran 9.784 and Thompson ran 9.789. This was the first Olympic 100m final to be decided by thousandths-of-a-second since Allen Wells and Silvio Leonard both ran 10.25 in Moscow 1980.
