The Usain Bolt-shaped whole in the men's 100m Olympics final has been joined by a Trayvon Bromell silhouette. The pre-Games favorite failed to get through the semi-finals, leaving it to anybody's guess as to who will take today's gold medal. Who will be crowned the fastest man on the planet? Find out by reading on as we explain how to get a 100m sprint final live stream and watch the Tokyo 2020 Olympics athletics online from anywhere - including where you can watch absolutely free of charge.
If there's one event you always absolutely have to watch at the 2020 Olympics, it's the 100m sprint. It's the shortest event of the Games but the one that sears itself into everyone's memories - 10 screaming, pulse-raising, fist pumping seconds of sport boiled down to its purest form
Usain Bolt dominated the event since Beijing 2008 and world athletics is still waiting for his successor to announce himself. Team USA's Trayvon Bromell was widely tipped to take gold, but failed to break 10 seconds earlier today and missed out on the final eight.
Ronnie Baker (USA), Akani Simbine (South Africa) and Andre De Grasse (Canada) are still three to watch, but China's Su Bingtian came from nowhere to post the best time of the Tokyo Games so far - an all-time Asian record of 9.83 seconds.
It's the thrill of all thrills, the clearest test of athleticism, the jewel in the crown of the Olympics, so read on as we explain how to watch the men's 100m sprint and live stream the Tokyo 2020 Olympics from anywhere.
How to watch the Olympics 100m sprint: live stream Tokyo 2020 athletics in the US
You're looking at an early start to watch the 100m sprint in the US, with the men's final scheduled to start at 8.50am ET / 5.50am PT on Sunday morning.
The better news is that the 100m sprint is part of the FREE live action being streamed by NBC's dedicated streaming service Peacock.
Our guide to watching Olympics 2020 on Peacock will explain more, but you can see its coverage on your computer, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TVs and Amazon Fire TV Sticks.
Watch the Olympics 100m sprint without cable
If you miss the live coverage, you can catch up at primetime on NBC. And if you don't have the channel on cable, fear not.
Great value over-the-top streaming service Sling TV could be the answer. It offers NBC in select markets, as part of its $35 a month Blue package - which also include NBCSN and the USA Network.
And it usually has a really good deal on, like your first month for only $10 at the time of writing.
Alternatively, you may want to look at something like FuboTV. It carries loads more channels and is available to try with a free 7-day trial, but the monthly cost is higher, starting at $64.99.
And if you're abroad right now, don't forget that you can still tune in like you at home with the help of a good VPN. We explain in more detail below.
How to watch 100m sprint from outside your country
You should be able to find an Olympics 100m sprint live stream (whether paid or free) in whatever country you happen to be in. But you may find that: a) your usual domestic coverage is geo-blocked when overseas; or b) that your place of work or college has blocked the ability to watch online where you are.
There's a really easy way to solve those issues, thankfully. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer, phone or tablet into thinking that it's somewhere completely different. That way you can enjoy your usual coverage without having to find an illegal stream.
