When fractions of seconds count

There was yet another photo finish today, and the results speak for themselves. The difference between first place and third was only .03 seconds!

In the end, Brigitte Foster-Hylton (JAM) squeeked out just ahead of the pack (12.51) followed by Priscilla Lopes-Schleep (CAN 12:54) and Delloreen Ennis-London (JAM 12.55) who took the other medals. Perdita Felicien unfortuately met with difficulty very early in the race and placed 8th with a time of 15:53.

Articles are already flying out of the press room at CBC, including a whole bunch of reactions. How do they do this so quickly?
