When will Neeraj Chopra compete in Javelin throw event at Paris Olympics 2024? Where to watch live in India

The upcoming men's 100m event at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris is anticipated to be fiercely competitive. The last time a US athlete claimed victory in the men's 100-meter race at the Olympics was back in 2004, when Justin Gatlin took the gold. Following Gatlin's triumph, Jamaica's Usain Bolt went on an unprecedented winning streak, securing three consecutive gold medals in 2008, 2012, and 2016, a remarkable achievement in the history of the sport. In the most recent Olympics, Marcell Jacobs of Italy shocked the world by emerging victorious in the men's 100m race.

The burning question now is whether Jacobs can successfully defend his Olympic title and join the esteemed company of American Carl Lewis and Jamaican sprinting icon Usain Bolt, the only other athletes to have clinched multiple gold medals in the 100m at the Olympics.

In order to achieve this feat, Jacobs will need to overcome formidable opponents, including the USA's Noah Lyles, who is eager to claim his first Olympic gold after securing a bronze in the 200m event at the Tokyo 2020 Games. Lyles, the reigning double sprint world champion, is setting his sights on triumph in the 100m competition as a crucial step towards his ultimate goal of capturing four Olympic titles in Paris.
