Noah Lyles, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and more Team USA track stars are back tonight as we officially cross the one-week line of track and field at the 2024 Olympics.
Yesterday, American runner Quincy Hall won gold in a thrilling comeback victory in the men’s 400m just one day after distance runner Cole Hocker became an Olympic champion thanks to a come-from-behind win.
Today, Americans will race in four of the five medal events, so Team USA is poised to continue extending their lead in the medal count.
The main event today, with three Team USA runners, is the men’s 200m final, but in addition to that, medals in women’s long jump, men’s javelin, women’s 400m hurdles, and men’s 110m hurdles will be decided.
