The men's 100-meter final is shaping up to be action-packed.

Sunday's semifinal just fanned the flame as United States star Noah Lyles stared down Jamaica's Oblique Seville as the two crossed the finish line. While the semifinal wasn't decisive in terms of medals, Seville beat Lyles by just 0.02 of a second.

The 100-meter final, which will include Lyles and Seville, when begin at 3:50 p.m. ET on Sunday.

While Lyles couldn't best Seville in their semifinal meeting, the title for the world's fastest man is still wide open heading into Sunday's final. Lyles posted the best time in the 100-meter earlier this year, and he'll look to do it again on his way to a potential gold medal.

But alongside Lyles will be his American teammates. Both Fred Kerley and Kenny Bednarek advanced to the final, with Kerley earning an automatic qualifier like Lyles and Bednarek qualified on time.

Along with Seville, Jamaica will be represented by Kishane Thompson, who had the best time of the day with a 9.80—a 0.01 second faster than Seville.

The United States is searching for its first gold medal in the event since 2004 when Justin Gatlin won. Lyles, Kerley and Bednarek will have some stiff competition, but all three runners are more than capable of being crowned champions.
