The world's fastest men in the 100m event in the past 10 years is dominated by Jamaica's Kishane Thompson and American speedsters. Surprisingly, Olympic champion Noah Lyles doesn't make the list.
Jamaican champion Kishane Thompson currently stands tall on the list of the fastest 100m men in the past ten years, which surprisingly sees Olympic champion Noah Lyles not make the elite league.
In a recent stat released by the World Athletics, Thompson occupies the top position with his 100m national title-winning time of 9.75s at the Jamaican trials, making him the sixth fastest man in history.

The 23-year-old also takes the second position with a blistering 9.77s clocked at the Jamaican Olympic trials last year to book his spot at his maiden Olympics in Paris, where he went on to narrowly claim the silver medal behind Lyles, despite both clocking the same time of 9.79s.

Sha'Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman gun for confidence-boosting records at Prefontaine Classic
Lovebirds Sha'Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman have records to attempt at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond in Eugene.
Noteworthy is that Thompson's 9.75s matched Gatlin's remarkable time, who was the last to run that fast back in June 4, 2015.
This shows the great trajectory the Jamaican is moving and now stands as the favourite to break the sub-9.70s mark or get close to Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58s.
For Lyles, he now understands the shape he needs to attain if he is to successfully defend his world title in Tokyo this September.
