A 3D simulation shows what a 100m race between sprint legend Usain Bolt and Olympic champion Noah Lyles would look like.
Lyles beat Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by the finest of margins to secure gold in the men's 100m final at this summer's Olympics.
He clocked a time of 9.79 seconds in a thrilling photo finish at the Paris Games.
His sprint heroics have been compared to Bolt, who won Olympic gold in the 100m event in Beijing, London and Rio de Janeiro.

But he recorded his best 100m time at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, which remains a world record.
He captured gold with a stunning time of 9.58 seconds.
But how would he fare against his American counterpart?
Well, a 3D simulation shows Bolt beating Lyles not once but THREE times.

The simulation begins with a 100m race that is won by Bolt. The second simulated race has Lyles beginning the race with a head start.
Despite the advantage, Bolt still won the race. And the final simulated race, which is ran over 200m, has Bolt pipping Lyles to the finish line.
The Jamaican also won gold in the 200m event in his three Olympic appearances.
But Lyles failed to win gold in Paris as he could only manage a bronze medal, having caught COVID-19.

Lyles shares many similarities with Bolt but he has a long way to go to match the sprint icon's Olympic achievements.
On his approach, he said: "I try to be a showman - some people criticise me for it, some people love it.
"They're watching because they want to see who's going to be the fastest. And that's what I want to bring. I want to bring entertainment to it. I know that just because I win it doesn't mean that I'll gain fans. I need to keep going. I want track and field to be known for, not just it's a fast race. I want you to enjoy the whole spectacle of it, the entertainment part of it."
