Olympic officials 'TACKLE track invader moments before Noah Lyles wins dramatic 100m final in Paris'

Even a track invader couldn't prevent Noah Lyles from winning his first Olympic gold in Paris, as the unidentified man was stopped right before the men's 100 meter final.

The individual was put to ground by security where cameramen were standing while filming the race live next to the track. 

'Track invader stopped in time just before the 100m final,' someone reported on X as a snap of the security breach was posted online.

'Hence the very long delay I presume?' a person replied as viewers were puzzled by NBC's long commercial break before the start of the race on social media.

Sunday's track invader wasn't the first time that Olympic events were interrupted by fans since the Paris Games started on July 26.

During soccer games in other parts of France, pitch invaders stormed onto the field while the United States faced Guinea and Ukraine played against Argentina. 

Security personnel also had to stopped a protester holding a Palestinian flag during a soccer game between Morocco and Iraq.

Several dozen riot police were then deployed along the field to prevent further incidents. 

Interruptions also took place during Argentina-Morocco, as fans ran onto the field and threw bottles.

The game had to be suspended for around two hours with just minutes remaining. 

Euro 2024 in Germany was marred by pitch invaders earlier this summer with a fan running onto the field to greet Kylian Mbappe during the semifinal match between France and Spain. 

Cristiano Ronaldo even posed for a selfie during Portugal's win over Turkey in the group stages. 

The star forward was approached by six selfie-hunting supporters during the match.
