🥇 Good morning everyone, especially…

NOAH LYLES …

He said it and did it — or rather, did it. Noah Lyles is the fastest man on Earth, and he won the title in exciting fashion describe Jamaica‘S Kishane Thompson via five thousandths of a second — 9.784 to 9.789. Americans Fred Kerley won the bronze medal with a score of 9.81.

Lyles is the first American to win the event since Justin Gatlin in 2004, and that’s the closest we’ve seen in the 100 meters since 1980. While the 200 meters is Lyles’ specialty (his 2020 bronze medal was serve as motivation), he has never been shy about his immense talent, and he showed it all in a remarkable run to gold. He will compete in the second half of the 100-200 doubles race on Thursday.

… SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER …

There was a time, not so long ago, when Olympic golf was looked down upon, considered a farce. If you need any proof that it is no longer the case, just look at Scottie Scheffler pumped his fist and cheered as he birdied the lead on the 17th hole. Scheffler shot a spectacular 62 on Sunday to win the gold medal, topping the extremely high leaderboard.

Scheffler tied the course record, fueled by a 29 on the back nine, and became the first world No. 1 golfer to win an Olympic gold medal. He birdied each of the first three holes and four of the last five. His ball-striking was excellent — three of his last four birdies were putts from eight feet away — and his putting was arguably even better. Tommy Fleetwood And Hideki Matsuyama won silver and bronze respectively Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele And Rory McIlroy among those who just stood on the outside looking in.

… AND NOVAK DJOKOVIC

There’s something about the Olympics that makes winning — no matter what heights one reaches elsewhere — truly special. Novak Djokovickneeling and sobbing in the middle of the field, then in the crowd, and then wrapped in the Serbian flag, tells you all you need to know.

Sixteen years after his Olympic debut, Djokovic defeated the sport’s brightest young star, the father of time and perhaps the feeling that he might never win another major again with a Win 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-3) via Carlos Alcaraz.

• At 37, Djokovic is the oldest Olympic singles tennis champion ever. Alcaraz, 21, wasn’t even born when Djokovic played his first professional match.
• Djokovic joins Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal And Serena Williams are the only athletes to have the “Golden Slam” – all four major titles and an Olympic gold medal.
• Djokovic, the 24-time major champion, called it “I can say it’s the biggest success I’ve ever achieved.”

Years after his supposed “peak,” Djokovic reached those heights again, gliding and sliding across the iconic clay courts of Roland Garros, playing incredible defense and hitting seemingly impossible angles. It was a stunning performance, reminiscent of times when he was not supposed to return due to age and injury. But here he was, as good as gold for the first time.
