Great Britain’s Louie Hinchliffe edged out American world champion Noah Lyles to qualify for the men’s 100m semi-finals at Paris 2024, alongside team-mate Zharnel Hughes.<\/b><\/p>\n

Making his Olympics debut, 22-year-old Hinchliffe clocked 9.98 seconds to take an impressive victory over Lyles (10.04) as both qualified automatically from their heat.<\/p>\n

“It felt great but the job\u2019s not done. I don\u2019t want to get too ahead of myself,” British champion Hinchliffe told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

World bronze medallist Hughes will also contest the semi-finals on Sunday, held before the final on the same night, running 10.03 for third in the final race of the morning session.<\/p>\n

However, British team-mate Jeremiah Azu was disqualified for a false start in the opening heat – a decision the 23-year-old unsuccessfully appealed against.<\/p>\n

The women’s 100m semi-finals, featuring Team GB’s Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita and Imani Lansiquot, take place from 18:50 BST on Saturday before the final at 20:20.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
