Semifinals Set For Men’s 100m At 2024 Summer Olympics
After eight heats in the men’s 100 meters Friday, the list of athletes who qualified for the semifinals didn’t offer many surprises, but some of the performances may have raised a few eyebrows heading into the next round.
The fastest times of the day belonged to a pair of Americans – Kenny Bednarek and Fred Kerley – who each got the job done in 9.97 seconds. Collegiate sensation Louie Hinchliffe (9.98), Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme (9.98) and Jamaica’s Oblique Seville (9.99) were the other sub-10 performances of the day.
Thompson, who owns the year’s fastest time, won the opening heat with a 10.00 performance.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was when Hinchliffe’s effort bested Lyles, who advanced with a time of 10.04.
Here’s a look at the semifinal breakdown:
